At the heart of French gastronomy lies the famed black truffle of the P'rigord. Bu France's truffles are being adulterated with cheaper ones from China, and it seems that Chinese organised crime is behind the fraud. At the St Denis market, a Vietnamese family has been selling their dishes for years until their stall is wrecked by attackers who look Chinese. Again it appears tha organised crime is behind the outrage, firing the opening shots of a Viet-Chinese triad war. When vicious murder, illegal immigration and the importation of underage girls for prostitution are added to the mix, Bruno has his work cut out.

'So likeable is Courreges and so convincing his milieu, that I was desperate for more Bruno as soon as Black Diamond's brisk and brutal conclusion came... C'est formidable' Independent on Sunday. 'There are truffles to gather and market days to attend, as well as a sumptuous funeral banquet for a murdered truffle master that surpasses any meal cooked up thus far in a series that always makes your mouth water' International Herald Tribune.
