Fatal Pursuit: A novel (Bruno, Chief of Police Series)

A pair of murders, a romance and rivals in pursuit of a long-lost vintage car of unfathomable valueâ€”Bruno, chief of police, is busy in another mystery set in the beautiful Dordogne

At the annual fÃªte in St. Denis, Brunoâ€™s biggest worry is surviving as a last-minute replacement navigator in a car rally race. The contest and a classic-car parade are new to the festivities and draw a spate of outsiders with deep pockets, big-city egos and, in the case of a young Englishman, an intriguing story. Itâ€™s the tale of a Bugatti Type 57C, lost somewhere in France during World War II. Among the most beautiful cars ever made, one of only four of its kindâ€”Ralph Lauren owns oneâ€”it is worth millions and drives its pursuers mad with greed. In the midst of the festivities, a local scholar turns up dead and Bruno suspects unnatural causes. After a second death, there is mounting evidence that the events in St. Denis are linked to international crime.

To make matters even more complicated, a family squabble over land brings to St. Denis a comely Parisienne who turns Brunoâ€™s head. As usual, Brunoâ€™s life offers its challengesâ€”but there is always time for a good bottle and a home-cooked meal.
