Produktinformationen zu „The Resistance Man “
Bruno, chef de police, can't get a moment's peace. He's uncovered a cache of old bank notes and is also dealing with a wave of burglaries. The victims include the recently retired head of Britain's Joint Intelligence Committee, which brings old flame Isabelle back to St Denis.
The next burglary ends in murder: the victim's bludgeoned body found by his lover - the prime suspect. But Bruno is on another track.
Meanwhile, the Mayor introduces Bruno to Jacqueline, who is researching the theory that American funds were used to prevent Communism in France, which led the US to give clandestine support to the nuclear program.
When Jacqueline's home is subsequently burgled, the stakes become much higher. Jacqueline's work, suggests the Mayor, is political dynamite.

It seems that Bruno is about to uncover political dynamite...

Rezension zu „The Resistance Man “
'All of the casual skills that Walker brought to his earlier outings for Bruno are fully on display in this latest addition to a highly civilised series. The author's experience as a journalist has given him an impeccable eye for local detail, one of the signal pleasures of the Bruno books' Good Book Guide.
