Another delectable serving of mystery and the pleasures of the Dordogne from the newest master of suspense, Martin Walker.Its spring in the idyllic village of St. Denis, and for Chief of Police Bruno Courrges that means lamb stews, bottles of his beloved Pomerol, morning walks with his hound, Gigiand a new string of regional crimes and international capers. When a local archaeological team looking for CroMagnon and Neanderthal remains turns up a corpse with a watch on its wrist and a bullet in its head, its up to Bruno to solve the case. But the task will not be easy, not with a meddlesome new magistrate eager to make a strong impression, an ongoing series of attacks by animal rights activists on local foie gras producers, and a nearby summit between France and Spain approachingnot to mention two beautiful, brilliant women vying for Brunos affections.Complicating events even further, the professor in charge of the dig is soon reported missing, leading Bruno to suspect that the past and the present are bound up in dangerous ways. As summer approaches, the wine growing cooler and the fruit sweeter, Brunos investigations take him indelibly deeper into contemporary Europes dark history of terrorist and counterterrorist tacticsand toward a dramatic finale.As savory as foie gras, as piquant as vin de noix, and as richly complex as the regions truffles, The Crowded Grave is a feast for mystery lovers and Francophiles alike.
