This is the seventh installment in Martin Walker’s mystery series starring Benoît "Bruno" Courrèges, police chief in the fictional village of St. Denis in France’s Périgord region.
Even as Bruno finds himself investigating the torture and brutal killing of an undercover French agent, he gets drawn into the return to France of Sami, an autistic, Algerian-born young man who grew up in St. Denis but was lured to Afghanistan by terrorists.
The murder of the agent in St. Denis is tied to jihadist efforts to find and kill Sami before he gives French and American investigators valuable intelligence about Islamic extremists.
