Bruno, Chief of Police, is back in another thrilling case! A missing woman, a shocking pregnancy, and a dash of international intrigue make for a gripping read.

When a British tourist fails to turn up for a luxurious cooking vacation in the idyllic Dordogne village of St.

Denis, Bruno is quick to investigate.

Monica Felder is nowhere to be found, and her husband, a retired British major, is unreachable.

As Bruno digs deeper, he discovers that Monica was traveling with a mysterious Irishman (her lover?), who turns up dead along with the girl's rugby team star, who is pregnant and at risk of being named to the French national squad.

With Bruno's usual charm and wit, he navigates through the twists and turns of this case, leading him to places he hadn't intended to go.

But as ever, he takes time to savor the natural delights of the Dordogne.
