The Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic was called the most beautiful car of
all time. Only four of them were ever built. A California museum
paid $37 million for one; Ralph Lauren bought another; a third was
smashed by a train at a level crossing. The fourth disappeared in
France during World War 2. It was the car used by British racing
ace, William Grover Williams, twice winner of the French and Monaco
Grand Prix, who became an undercover agent in Occupied France. The
latest adventure in the Bruno series of mystery novels starts from
this true story. Two young men, both racing drivers with a passion
for antique cars, compete to find new clues as to the car's hiding
place in the Perigord region of France where Bruno is the local
chief of police. When a local researcher turns up dead on Bruno's
patch, and French intelligence starts investigating the use of
classic car sales to launder money for funding Islamic terrorism,
Bruno finds himself once more caught up in a case that reaches far
beyond his small town and its people. With the bucolic charm and
gourmet cooking that are the hallmarks of this series, Bruno's
latest adventure finds him falling in love again as he races to
find the murderer and to track down the fate of the most beautiful
car ever made.
