Summary |
"When a musician's new song hits a political nerve, he finds himself in the crosshairs of Spanish nationalists' ire, and it's up to Bruno to track down an extremist who seems ready to take deadly measures"-- Provided by publisher. |
|
Summer in St Denis, and Bruno is busy organizing the annual village concert. He's hired a local Périgord folk group, Les Troubadours, to perform their latest hit 'A Song for Catalonia'. When the song unexpectedly goes viral, the Spanish government clamps down on the Catalonian bid for independence and bans Les Troubadours from performing it. Then a specialist sniper's bullet is found in a wrecked car near Bergerac. The car was reportedly stolen on the Spanish frontier and the Spanish government sends warning that a group of nationalist extremists may be planning an assassination in France. Suspecting that Les Troubadours and their audience might be in danger, Bruno must organise security and ensure that his town and its people are safe. - adapted from Goodreads |
