Overview:
Escape to the sun-soaked villages of south-west France with this six-book collection from Martin Walker's bestselling Bruno, Chief of Police series, also known as the Dordogne Mysteries. Covering instalments five through ten — The Devil's Cave, The Resistance Man, Death Undercover, The Dying Season, Fatal Pursuit and The Templars' Last Secret — this set follows village policeman Bruno Courrèges as he solves crimes steeped in local history, food, wine and community life. A must-have set for crime fiction fans who love a strong sense of place as much as a clever plot, and a great way to catch up on the series.
About the Books:
This collection gathers six consecutive novels continuing the adventures of Benoît "Bruno" Courrèges, the sole police officer of the fictional Dordogne town of St Denis. In The Devil's Cave, Bruno investigates a body found in a ritualistic tableau, uncovering old rivalries beneath the town's tranquil surface. The Resistance Man ties a spate of antique banknote thefts back to a wartime train robbery, blending present-day detective work with echoes of Nazi-occupied France. Death Undercover sees an undercover officer turn up dead, forcing Bruno to unpick a web of loyalty, corruption and deceit. The Dying Season brings a wealthy patriarch's birthday celebrations to a close with a suspicious death and long-buried family secrets. Fatal Pursuit centres on a stolen vintage Bugatti and a murder tied to classic car collecting, giving Bruno a fast-paced chase across the region. Finally, The Templars' Last Secret unearths a centuries-old mystery involving the Knights Templar, linking a modern murder to buried treasure. Throughout, Walker's trademark warmth and eye for detail shine through: leisurely meals, fine local wine, and the rhythms of rural French life sit alongside genuinely gripping investigations, making this an ideal way to enjoy the series as a continuous read.
