The sequel to Martin Walker's Bruno, Chief of Police again features the affable rural French policeman, Bruno, who now finds himself involved in a mystery involving the wine business and environmentalism. VINTAGE.

A riveting sequel to Martin Walker's acclaimed novel Bruno, Chief of Police, where some of France's great pleasures--wine, passion and intrigue--converge in a dark chain of events that threaten the peaceful village of Saint-Denis.

When a bevy of winemakers descend on Saint-Denis, competing for its land and spurring resentment among the villagers, the idyllic town of Saint-Denis--where Benoit "Bruno" Courreges is the town's only policeman--finds itself the center of intense drama. The town's rivals--Max, an environmentalist who hopes to make organic wine; Jacqueline, a flirtatious, newly arrived Québécoise; and Fernando, the heir to an American wine fortune--act increasingly erratically. Events grow ever darker, culminating in two suspicious deaths, and Bruno finds that the problems of the present are never far from those of the past. A splendid mystery--and a delectable serving of the pleasures of France.
