When a local archaeological team looking for Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal remains turns up a corpse with a watch on its wrist and a bullet in its head, its up to Bruno to solve the case. But the task will not be easy, not with a meddlesome new magistrate eager to make a strong impression, an ongoing series of attacks by animal rights activists on local foie gras producers, and a nearby summit between France and Spain approaching--not to mention two beautiful, brilliant women vying for Brunos affections.\nComplicating events even further, the professor in charge of the dig is soon reported missing, leading Bruno to suspect that the past and the present are bound up in dangerous ways. As summer approaches, the wine growing cooler and the fruit sweeter, Brunos investigations take him indelibly deeper into contemporary Europes dark history of terrorist and counterterrorist tactics--and toward a dramatic finale.\nAs savory as foie gras, as piquant as \"vin de noix, \" and as richly complex as the regions truffles, \"The Crowded Grave \"is a feast for mystery lovers and Francophiles alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Quercus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45115302674485,"sku":"ByrdShop_1780876742","price":59.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781780876740_2536c29c-aeef-4ffa-b47c-a1f1dbf543b7.jpg?v=1781154254","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/crowded-grave-9781780876740","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
