MARTIN WALKER, after a long career of working in international journalism and for think tanks, now gardens, cooks, explores vineyards, writes and travels. His series of novels featuring Bruno, Chief of Police, are bestsellers in Europe and have been translated into more than fifteen languages. He divides his time between Washington, D.C., and the Dordogne.
"With Bruno around, all's right with the world." -The New York
Times Book Review
"Walker's Bruno novels are good mysteries, but they're also
travelogues and culinary experiences, history lessons and nature
guides." -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Unashamedly lavished with warmth. . . . The ubiquitous atmosphere
of [Walker's] books is of undisguised affection for the towns,
villages, their people, their wine and their food of the Dordogne."
-Forbes
"Rich in atmosphere and personality. . . . It's impossible to read
a Bruno novel without getting hungry and thirsty." -The New York
Times
"Consistently excellent . . . I really want to know Bruno, to eat
at his dinner table with his charming and entertaining guests, to
play fetch with his basset hound, Balzac . . . I really want to be
Bruno." -Bruce Tierney, BookPage (starred review)
"[A] deliciously food-and-wine-soaked world. . . . [With] a cast of
characters guaranteed to charm." -Wine Spectator

a mystery to nudge things along. . . . Savory indeed." -The
Seattle Times
"Falling-off-the-bone French at its ne plus ultra." -Kirkus
