Bruno's Challenge & Other Dordogne Tales

A bumper collection of delightful stories featuring Bruno, Chief of Police and
France's favourite cop, all set in the beautiful Dordogne valley and the
ravishing Perigord region of the south west. Here is a landscape of meandering
rivers with medieval castles overlooking their banks, of lush hillsides and
spreading vineyards, of delicious local wines and world renowned cuisine.

With titles like 'The Chocolate War'; 'The Birthday Lunch'; 'Oystercatcher';
'A Market Tale' and 'Fifty Million Bubbles', you may be sure that champagne
and gastronomy will feature as well as cosy crime in 'Dangerous Vacation'.
Bruno strides through these tales, staying calm. settling local disputes and
keeping safe his beloved town of St Denis.

Only on one occasion does he panic: in 'Bruno's Challenge', his friend Ivan,
proprietor and chef of the town's popular eatery, suddenly collapses on the
eve of a large anniversary dinner, and he asks Bruno to take over the
restaurant. After a few protests followed by some deep breaths, the inimitable
Bruno meets his challenge and saves the day.
