This is the 19th installment in the Bruno, Chief of Police series by the now-retired journalist and historian Martin Walker. Bruno remains one of the most charming, sophisticated, erudite, and philosophical policemen—if not men—in southern France. A woman in her sixties, a nurse at a nearby nursing home, is brutally murdered. The victim appears to have completely erased her past. There is nothing to reveal who she really was, and the vicious, deeply personal nature of the crime suggests the motive is buried in the past. As Bruno and his team dig deeper, clues begin to emerge, gradually uncovering the victim's hidden history. Along the way, exquisite food is served, love is in the air, and modern technology solves the investigation. Justice is served in one of the best in the series.
