On returning to Périgord after the US book tour, I learned from Mayor Philippe Ducene that the town council of Sainte Alvère had on February 10 voted me “honorary citizen of the commune” with an official investiture to take place in the town this summer.
Sainte Alvère is the home of the famed black truffle of the Périgord and the seat of the market at which this pride of French gastronomy is traded. The third Bruno novel, ‘Black Diamond,’ is partly set in Sainte Alvère and the plot hinges on Bruno’s efforts to defeat fraudsters attacking the truffle trade.
The novel, which has been published in 14 languages in Europe, Asia and the Americas, comes out this summer in French.
