Description
In the heart of French gastronomy lies a prized ingredient: the black truffle of Perigord. But a sinister plot is threatening to disrupt this culinary tradition, as cheaper Chinese truffles flood the market and organised crime takes hold.
A brutal attack on a Vietnamese family's food stall in St Denis market sets off a chain reaction of violence, corruption and exploitation. As Bruno, Chief of Police, delves deeper into the mystery, he must navigate a complex web of international crime and local politics to restore order to the city.
