   Bruno Courrèges mag dan wel commissaris van de politie zijn, eigenlijk heeft hij niet veel te doen in het kleine toeristische plaatsje St. Denis. Hij heeft een dienstwapen, maar dat draagt hij nooit. Hij heeft het recht mensen te arresteren, maar dat is in zijn loopbaan slechts één keer voorgekomen. Bruno houdt zich voornamelijk bezig met St. Denis te behoeden voor invloeden van buitenaf: de bemoeienissen van de Europese Commissie en de nationale politiek. Maar op bevrijdingsdag vindt er een vreselijke misdaad plaats. De grootvader van een Noord-Afrikaanse familie wordt dood aangetroffen. Iedereen denkt dat het een racistische moord is. Maar Bruno is niet overtuigd en stelt een grondig onderzoek in, dat de verhoudingen binnen het dorp ernstig zal verstoren.

   Für Brunos Geschmack ist im malerischen Saint-Denis im Périgord entschieden zu viel los: Ein spanisch-französisches Gipfeltreffen ruft die Separatistenbewegung ETA auf den Plan, eine Gänsefarm wird von Tierschutzaktivisten attackiert, und dann ist da auch noch die archäologische Ausgrabungsstätte, deren deutscher Forschungsleiter nach einem prähistorischen Menschen sucht. Das Skelett, das dann auch gefunden wird, ist allerdings längst nicht so alt wie erhofft, und Bruno muss gute Nerven beweisen, um all die Fäden zusammenzuführen.

   Mystery, food, and wine in the French province of Dordogne—the latest offering from Martin Walker, featuring Benoît “Bruno” Courrèges. It’s spring in St. Denis. The village choir is preparing for its Easter concert, the wildflowers are blooming, and among the lazy whorls of the river a dead woman is found floating in a boat. It’s another case for Bruno, the town’s cherished chief of police. With the discovery of sinister markings and black candles near the body, it seems to him that the occult might be involved. And as questions mount—regarding a troubling real estate proposal in the region; a suspicious, violent death made to look accidental; and the sudden reappearance of a politically controversial elderly countess—Bruno and his colleagues and friends are drawn ever closer to a climactic showdown in the Gouffre de Colombac: the place locals call the Devil’s Cave. With the enchanting backdrop of France’s pastoral heartland, a cast of local characters as vibrant as their surroundings, enough sumptuous repasts to satisfy any literary gourmand, and a hero winningly capable of balancing the good life with a dogged dedication to solving the crimes that threaten it, The Devil’s Cave invites readers to raise a glass and turn the page.

10. The Templars' Last Secret

    • Martin Walker

    The victim carries no identification and her fingerprints are not known to the French police or Interpol. The only clue to the woman's identity is that her dentistry looks American, but Bruno's inquiries at local hotels and gites yield no trace of a missing foreign woman. The chateau of Commarque, begun in the 11th century, was founded by a Bishop of Sarlat and entrusted to the Knights Templar. In the rocks beneath it are caves. It is one of the few Templar sites in France that has never been associated with the fabled hidden treasure of the Templars - never until now, when a local journalist publishes a sensational story around the unknown woman's death and a centuries-old mystery looks like it might finally be solved...
