The ninth installment in the delightful, internationally acclaimed series featuring Chief of Police Bruno.
Bruno’s village of St. Denis has been called many things, but a hotbed of international intrigue has never been one of them . . . until now. When an undercover agent is found murdered just as a prodigal son is set to retun from a grim tour in the Middle East, the small town suddenly finds itself host to a determined global tribunal, threatening the usual cheer brought by St. Denis’s annual wine festival.
With clever twists and action aplenty, The Children Return is a journey to St. Denis that readers won’t soon forget.
