The event of the P?rigord tourist season is to be the re-enactment of the liberation of the historic town of Sarlat from the English in 1370. But it all goes wrong when the man playing the part of the French general is almost killed in the heat of the action. The immediate question for chief of police Bruno Courr?ges is was this an accident – or deliberate? The stakes rise when Bruno learns that the man, Kerquelin, was running Frenchelon, the secret French electronic intelligence base nearby, after being recruited from a Silicon Valley career. His old colleagues have been invited to stay at the chateau of Rouffillac as his guests to enjoy the show. As he investigates, Bruno discovers that Kerquelin’s wound was faked, that he’s alive, and secretly negotiating a deal to build a semi-conductor industry in France. But then a whole new and dangerous player emerges, determined to nip the deal in the bud.
