The Dying Season (Unabridged ed)

Bruno, chef de police, is invited to the 90th birthday of a powerful local patriarch - a war hero with high-level political connections in France, Russia and Israel.

There Bruno encounters a family with more secrets than even he had imagined.

When one of the other guests is found dead the next morning and the family try to cover it up, Bruno knows it's his duty to prevent the victim from becoming just another skeleton in their closet.

Even if his digging reveals things Bruno himself would rather keep buried.
