Details
Walker is a former foreign correspondent reporting from the USSR, USA, Europe and Africa for The Guardian. He is the author of the delightful, internationally acclaimed mystery series featuring Bruno, Chief of Police. Set in the Perigord region of rural France, home of truffles, foie gras, great cheeses and wonderful wines, Benoit Courreges, aka Bruno, is a French country policeman and former soldier who was wounded while serving with UN peacekeepers during the siege of Sarajevo. Bruno hunts, cooks, tries never to arrest anyone and, hates to carry his gun (but sometimes must). He loves his basset hound, his horse and a complicated array of firmly independent women. A series of murders, intrigues, and other crimes consistently interrupt his peace and quiet.
