Overview

Another delightful installment in the delightful, internationally acclaimed series featuring Chief of Police Bruno: Bruno Courr?ges is thrilled when he receives an invitation to the lavish birthday celebration of his childhood hero, World War II flying ace Marco ôthe Patriarchö Desaix. But when the party ends in the death of one of MarcoÆs longtime friends, Gilbert, it turns into another day on the job for St. Denis's chief of police. All signs point to a tragic accident, but Bruno isnÆt so sure, for there is more to the Desaix family's lives and loyalties than meets the eye. ThereÆs Victor, the PatriarchÆs son and Gilbert's sometimes rival, and VictorÆs seductive wife, Madeleine, whose roving eye intrigues Bruno even more than her fierce political ambitions. Not to mention the Patriarch himselfùdid his postwar Soviet ties intersect too closely with GilbertÆs career in Cold War intelligence? As BrunoÆs entanglement with the Desaix family becomes more complicated, his inquiries into GilbertÆs life will become a deadly threat to his own.
