Reviews"Both thrilling and truly élégante ... Walker has created an object of desire more delectable than the festive meals Bruno always prepares for his friends." -- The New York Times Book Review " Fatal Pursuit is a veritable feast of world-class skullduggery. A genuine plus is the passionate descriptions of the cars and the experience of driving them. This souped-up mystery is another winner." --Open Letters Monthly "A feast, from scenery to food to Bugattis." -- Booklist, starred review "Engagingly droll... Readers can expect great plot and great milieu, but the icing on the g 'teau is Bruno himself. Of all the cops in all the cop books I've read, he is the one whose home I would like to visit, to partake in one of his delicious-sounding meals and perhaps a bottle of Bergerac red." -- BookPage "[A] pleasing puzzle." -- Kirkus Reviews "Clever, witty, and satisfying from beginning to end... Walker continues to write a series that remains inventive and yet retains its initial seductive charms." -- Popular Culture Association Mystery & Detective Fiction List, "A feast, from scenery to food to Bugattis." -- Booklist, starred review "[A] pleasing puzzle." -- Kirkus Reviews

SynopsisA pair of murders, a romance and rivals in pursuit of a long-lost vintage car of unfathomable value--Bruno, chief of police, is busy in another mystery set in the beautiful Dordogne At the annual fête in St. Denis, Bruno's biggest worry is surviving as a last-minute replacement navigator in a car rally race. The contest and a classic-car parade are new to the festivities and draw a spate of outsiders with deep pockets, big-city egos and, in the case of a young Englishman, an intriguing story. It's the tale of a Bugatti Type 57C, lost somewhere in France during World War II. Among the most beautiful cars ever made, one of only four of its kind--Ralph Lauren owns one--it is worth millions and drives its pursuers mad with greed. In the midst of the festivities, a local scholar turns up dead and Bruno suspects unnatural causes. After a second death, there is mounting evidence that the events in St. Denis are linked to international crime. To make matters even more complicated, a family squabble over land brings to St. Denis a comely Parisienne who turns Bruno's head. As usual, Bruno's life offers its challenges--but there is always time for a good bottle and a home-cooked meal., A pair of murders, a romance and rivals in pursuit of a long-lost vintage car of unfathomable value--Bruno, chief of police, is busy in another mystery set in the beautiful Dordogne At the annual f te in St. Denis, Bruno's biggest worry is surviving as a last-minute replacement navigator in a car rally race.
