Bruno, chief of police Cover Image Book Book

Bruno, chief of police / Martin Walker.

Walker, Martin, 1947- (Author).

Summary:

Meet Benoit Courr©Øeges, affectionately named Bruno, chief of police in a small village in the South of France where the rituals of the caf©Øe still rule. A former soldier, Bruno has embraced the slow rhythms of country life. But the murder of an elderly North African who fought in the French army galvanizes his attention: the man had a swastika carved into his chest. When a visiting scholar helps untangle the dead man's past, Bruno's suspicions turn toward a motive more complex than hate, back to a tortured period of French history.
