Bruno, Chief of Police Check Availability

Mystery

Benoit Courréges, affectionately named Bruno, is chief of police in a small village in the South of France. A former soldier, Bruno has embraced the slow rhythms of country life. But the murder of an elderly North African who fought in the French army galvanizes his attention: the man had a swastika carved into his chest. When a visiting scholar helps untangle the dead man’s past, Bruno’s suspicions turn toward a motive more complex than hate. Published in 2010; 273 pages.

Includes 15 paperback copies and 1 book club guide prepared by WCPL.
