Summary

The Bugatti Type 57 Atlantic was called the most beautiful car of all time. Only four of them were ever built. A California museum paid $37 million for one; Ralph Lauren bought another; a third was smashed by a train at a level crossing. The fourth disappeared in France during World War II. It was the car used by British racing ace William Grover Williams, twice winner of the French and Monaco Grand Prix, who became an undercover agent in occupied France.

The latest adventure in the Bruno series of mystery novels starts from this true story. Two young men, both racing drivers with a passion for antique cars, compete to find new clues as to the car's hiding place in the Perigord region of France, where Bruno is the local chief of police.

When a local researcher turns up dead on Bruno's patch, and French intelligence starts investigating the use of classic car sales to launder money for funding Islamic terrorism, Bruno finds himself once more caught up in a case that reaches far beyond his small town and its people. With the bucolic charm and gourmet cooking that are the hallmarks of this series, Bruno's latest adventure finds him falling in love again as he races to find the murderer and to track down the fate of the most beautiful car ever made.

Immensely enjoyable.

"Fatal Pursuit" is another excellent mystery set in St Denis, with Bruno Courreges at the helm of the investigation and dealing with various other issues of the little town.
The Bruno, Chief of Police series follows the same format with every book: a current crime somehow tied up with a historical mystery set in the stunningly beautiful Perigord and generously sprinkled with moments of culinary and epicurean delights. But the series doesn't get boring or repetitive - quite the contrary - and each mystery feels fresh and intriguing, discovering another chapter of French history and dealing with a different kind of criminal activity.
I love the series more with every book. Martin Walker has done an incredible job - the mixture of crime, mystery, French history and delicious recipes is flawless. I binged the first nine books of the series over the past five weeks and every single book was excellent. I hope Martin Walker adds many more books to the series.
