“Captivating . . . The Dark Vineyard is sure to appeal to readers with a palate for mysteries with social nuance and understated charm.� -Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal “Martin Walker’s bucolic mysteries offer a gentle reminder to slow down and smell the grapes . . . Walker beguiles the reader with extended scenes of village market days, old-fashioned wine harvests and some exceptionally congenial dinner parties.� -Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review “Affectionate . . . Engrossing . . . Gripping . . . Walker’s mystery is written with a polished prose and an authority that’s shoulders above most crime fiction . . . The best mystery thriller we’ve read this year.� -George Christy, Beverly Hills Courier “The real pleasure of the book is the place itself, its landscapes and villages richly described. As readers are drawn into wine-stomping parties, truffle omelet dinners, and the aged dignity of a French hunting hound, the narrative tension gathers around the fate of villages like Saint Denis, now dependent on tourism, its small merchants closing shop as changes encroach ever further.� -P. G. Koch, Houston Chronicle “Romance, intrigue, and many a fine glass of wine await in Walker’s charming second mystery set in idyllic Saint-Denis . . . Walker serves up wry wit, suspense, and a host of captivating characters . . . Oenophiles and armchair travelers alike will enjoy spending time in this lovely, lively part of France.� -Starred review, Booklist “Lyrical . . . Walker evokes his French community’s celebrations of wine, food, love, and friendship with obvious affection but without sentimentality. His villagers are no more immune from modern times than the rest of us-they just drink better wine.� -Publishers Weekly “Walker blends food, wine, community, history, tradition, and general love of the Perigord . . . A poem to the region.� -Kirkus, "Captivating . . .The Dark Vineyardis sure to appeal to readers with a palate for mysteries with social nuance and understated charm." -Tom Nolan,The Wall Street Journal "Martin Walker's bucolic mysteries offer a gentle reminder to slow down and smell the grapes . . .

Synopsis
The second installment in the delightful, internationally acclaimed series featuring Bruno, Chief of Police. When a bevy of winemakers descend on Saint-Denis, competing for its land and spurring resentment among the villagers, the idyllic town--where Benoit "Bruno" Courreges is the town's only policeman--finds itself the center of an intense drama, with suspicious fires at the agricultural research station that is working on genetically-modified crops. Two young men--Max, an environmentalist who hopes to make organic wine, and Fernando, the heir to an American wine fortune--become rivals for the affections of Jacqueline, a flirtatious, newly arrived Québécoise student of wine. Events grow ever darker, culminating in two suspicious deaths, and Bruno finds that the problems of the present are never far from those of the past.
