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 mystery to nudge things along. . . . Savory
