The first installment in the delightful, internationally acclaimed series featuring Chief of Police Bruno.

Meet Beno t Courr ges, aka Bruno, a policeman in a small village in the South of France. He's a former soldier who has embraced the pleasures and slow rhythms of country life. He has a gun but never wears it; he has the power to arrest but never uses it. But then the murder of an elderly North African who fought in the French army changes all that. Now Bruno must balance his beloved routines--living in his restored shepherd's cottage, shopping at the local market, drinking wine, strolling the countryside--with a politically delicate investigation. He's paired with a young policewoman from Paris and the two suspect anti-immigrant militants. As they learn more about the dead man's past, Bruno's suspicions turn toward a more complex motive.

"Enjoyable.... Martin Walker plots with the same finesse with which Bruno can whip up a truffle omelette, and both have a clear appreciation for a life tied to the land." --The Christian Science Monitor

"A nice literary pairing with the slow-food movement.... It is] lovely...to linger at the table." --Entertainment Weekly

"A wonderfully crafted novel as satisfying as a French pastry but with none of the guilt or calories." --Tuscon Citizen's Journal

Nice Wallet
Beautiful men’s leather wallet by Fossil. Came in a tin gift box. Nice and big, which is what I was looking for. Has a pocket for coins. Planning on giving it to husband for Father’s Day and I know he’s gonna love it.

Fits your COVID vaccine card!
This wallet is very lovely (fine workmanship, smooth and not distressed leather as in the photo). Comes in a quality metal box that has possibly thrilled my husband even more than the wallet itself. Holds everything including weird currencies, parking stubs, even your COVID vaccine document — you do have one, right? Perfect gift.

Well made,
The leather is flawless, all the stitching is well done, the ability to organize my cards in groups worked out well. It's overall size is fine, fits well in a front pocket, flatter than a tri-fold, not bulky. My only wish would be making the width of the inner double sided leather card holder page pockets just 1/8" wider. In my opinion this would then be a 5-star wallet. One spot to hold some of the just wider than credit card size for easy access would be nice. Besides that, I intend to use it until it is worn out. Nice wallet!
