Dordogne’i musteeriumidest raagivad miljonid lugejad ule maailma. Miks see nii on ja millised valgustkartvad saladused Prantsusmaa idullilises St Denis’ linnakeses ringi hiilivad, selgub politseiulem Bruno juhtumite esimeses osas. Turupaev iidses St Denis’s Edela-Prantsusmaal. Euroopa Liidu hugieeniinspektorid on kamminud Prantsusmaa turge, samal ajal kui kohalikud peidavad kodus keelatud juustu ja soimavad Brusseli burokraate gestaapoks. Politseiulem Bruno Courreges toetab nende vastupanu. Ehkki siin, kunagises Prantsuse vastupanuliikumise Vichy tagalas, on sellised sonad nagu „gestaapo“ ja „vastupanuliikumine“ endiselt vaga valusad. Kui leitakse morvatuna vanem meesterahvas, uhe sisse rannanud Pohja-Aafrika perekonna pea, langeb kahtlus kohaliku tohtri pojale, kes tabatakse otse teolt, kui ta natsisumboolika keskel seksimange harrastab. Aga Bruno selles teoorias nii veendunud ei ole, tema kahtlustab kuriteo juuri ulatuvat Prantsuse lahiajaloo koige piinavamasse perioodi, Teise maailmasoja aega, kui valitsesid oudused ja reetmine, mis assitasid vennad vendade vastu. Tema ulesanne on tapja paljastada – aga kas St Denis’ elanikud lasevad tal selleks minevikus tuhnida? Esimene raamat rahvusvahelist tunnustust kogunud sarjast, mille peategelane on politseiulem Bruno.

Guidebook to 35 half-day and day walks in France's beautiful Dordogne region, based around Bergerac, Lalinde, Sarlat and Souillac (Lot). The walks, which range from 6 to 18.5km, take in the region's myriad delights, from spectacular gorges to enchanting chateaux and charming medieval villages. All walks are within the capacity of the average walker, and are on well-marked paths or quiet roads. They are graded easy or medium; there are no long, steep climbs or abrupt descents. 
There are step-by-step descriptions and maps for each route. Also included is information on the history, flora and fauna of the region, together with practical pointers such as what to take and when to go, as well as notes on waymarking, accommodation and transport. A route summary table and glossary are also provided.
Lying in south west France, the Dordogne is a land of great scenic variety, from rolling wooded hills and fertile valleys to barren upland plateaus and limestone cliffs riddled with caves. The charm of the Dordogne also lies in the picturesque medieval towns, chateaux, churches and abbeys that stud the landscape, and these are the focus of many of the walks.

A generation ago, the Ryman family arrived in the Dordogne to follow a dream. To live in France. To make excellent wine in a vineyard of their own. And to have an elegant chateau as a home. Is this not everyone's secret desire? It did not take them long to discover and fall in love with Chateau de la Jaubertie, a beautiful 400 year old country mansion, built from soft golden sandstone and set in the heart of the lush green valley of the Dordogne. Together, the family, Nick Ryman a multi-millionaire from selling his stationery business, his wife Anne, a professional cordonbleu cook, and their three children Hugh, Corinne and Camilla the Rymans embarked on a search for a new life a la francaise. But they had not anticipated the steep learning curve required to deal with the local French people and their customs; nor the passions and rifts that were to erupt within the family. In taking a vineyard producing barely drinkable wine they created the finest wines in Bergerac, thereby beating the French at their own game but the family would never be the same again – the search for their dream almost tore them apart
