The Shooting at Chateau Rock: A Bruno, Chief of Police Novel

The Shooting at Chateau Rock: A Bruno, Chief of Police Novel (Bruno, Chief of Police Series)

When a local's troubling death is linked to a Russian oligarch and his multinational conglomerate, Bruno faces one of his toughest cases yet, one that brings together a French notary and a rock star--and, of course, Bergerac red and white.

It's summer in the Dordogne. The heirs of a PÃ©rigordian sheep farmer learn that they have been disinherited, and their father's estate sold to an insurance company in return for a policy that will place him in a five-star retirement home for the rest of his life. But the farmer never gets his life of luxury--he dies before moving in. Was it a natural death? Was there foul play? Bruno begins the investigation that leads him to several shadowy insurance companies owned by a Russian oligarch with a Cypriot passport. The companies are based in Cyprus, Malta, and Luxembourg, but Bruno finds a weak spot in France: the Russian's France-based notaire and insurance agent. As Bruno is pursuing this lead, the oligarch's daughter turns up in the PÃ©rigord, and complications ensue, eventually bringing the action to the chÃ¢teau of an aging rock star. But, as ever, Bruno makes time for lunch amid it all.
