Meet Benoît Courrèges, aka Bruno, a policeman in a small village in the South of France.nbsp; He's a former soldier who has embraced the pleasures and slow rhythms of country life. He has a gun but never wears it; he has the power to arrest but never uses it.nbsp; But then the murder of an elderly North African who fought in the French army changes all that.nbsp; Now Bruno must balance his beloved routines--living in his restored shepherd's cottage, shopping at the local market, drinking wine, strolling the countryside--with a politically delicate investigation.nbsp; He's paired with a young policewoman from Paris and the two suspect anti-immigrant militants.nbsp; As they learn more about the dead man's past, Bruno's suspicions turn toward a more complex motive.
