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

It’s summer in the Dordogne. The heirs of a modest Périgordian sheep farmer learn upon his death that they
have been disinherited, and their father’s estate sold to an insurance company in return for a policy that would have
placed him in a five-star retirement home for the rest of his life. His children are immediately suspicious of the
uncharacteristically lavish arrangement. Their inquest raises other unsavory questions about his passing: Was it a
natural death? Was there foul play?

Bruno begins an investigation that leads him to several shadowy companies owned by a Russian billionaire. The
companies are based in Cyprus, Malta, and Luxembourg, but Bruno finds a way into the organization in France: a
recently relocated notaire and an insurance agent. As Bruno pursues this ominious lead, the Russian’s daughter turns
up in the Périgord, further complicating the case. All leads to a deadly denouement at the château of the rock star.
It takes all of Bruno’s resolve and quick thinking to untangle the truth. But, as ever—Bruno makes time for lunch.
