| Summary: | After Bruno misses several phone calls from Pamela, he worries that something has happened to his beloved horse he keeps at her riding school. But her reason for calling is entirely unexpected: Pamela's new lodger has been murdered. Bruno knows that Pamela isn't capable of killing anyone, but then who's the culprit? And what's the motive? The dead woman had only just moved to town to take a job at the local nursing home-she had no enemies in the village, and no friends, either. As Bruno wrestles with these complications, the force realizes that Bruno can't be impartial when Pamela is involved, and assigns the case instead to their rising star rookie, Fabien. Bruno is happy for Fabien to take the lead. After all, Bruno's been distracted-by his foundering relationship, by a documentary crew determined to transform the sleepy Vézère Valley into a tourist hotspot, by a group of opinionated small businesses Bruno wants to help organize a logistically complicated night market. He can't seem to catch a break. But when Fabien realizes that the victim is connected to his past, Bruno has to step back in to help. The village has never felt more crowded, and the clock is ticking: Will Bruno and Fabien be able to catch a killer? |
