'Evocative descriptions of the Perigord ... distinctive characters
... intricate mystery. Readers new to this series will feel right
at home' Publishers Weekly starred review Capturing the magic of
the Dordogne and its people, the Dordogne Mysteries are worldwide
bestsellers. Featuring Bruno, France's favourite policeman, along
with gourmet food and wine, local colour, sunshine and murder
mystery, no wonder they are so popular. Bruno Courreges is Chief of
Police of the lovely town of St Denis in the Dordogne. His main
wish is to keep the local people safe and his town free from crime.
But crime has a way of finding its way to him. For thirty years,
Bruno's boss, Chief of Detectives Jalipeau, known as J-J, has been
obsessed with his first case. It was never solved and Bruno knows
that this failure continues to haunt J-J. A young male body was
found in the woods near St Denis and never identified. For all
these years, J-J has kept the skull as a reminder. He calls him
'Oscar'. Visiting the famous pre-history museum in nearby Les
Eyzies, Bruno sees some amazingly life-like heads expertly
reconstructed from ancient skulls. He suggests performing a similar
reconstruction on Oscar as a first step towards at last identifying
him. An expert is hired to start the reconstruction and the search
for Oscar's killer begins again in earnest.
