Description
A Chateau Under Siege by Martin Walker A dramatic and suspenseful mystery unfolds in the picturesque Dordogne region of France. The annual re-enactment of the liberation of Sarlat from the English in 1370 takes a deadly turn when the actor playing the victorious French general collapses in a pool of blood. As Bruno, the chief of police, investigates, he uncovers a complex web of secrets and deceit that threaten the town and its people. Bruno's inquiry leads him to discover that the actor's wound was faked, and he is alive and well, secretly negotiating a major deal to establish a semi-conductor industry in France. However, a new and sinister player emerges, determined to sabotage the deal. With the stakes rising, Bruno must navigate a treacherous landscape of international intrigue and local politics to uncover the truth and protect the people he serves. A gripping and international mystery that combines elements of crime and culinary fiction, A Chateau Under Siege is a compelling read for fans of the genre.
