Bruno im Sondereinsatz: Eine Gruppe alter Freunde, die sich aus dem Silicon Valley kennen, trifft sich alljährlich zu einer Urlaubswoche, diesmal im wunderschönen, luxuriösen Château de Rouffillac. Doch im Vorfeld wird einer von ihnen, Brice Kerquelin, Opfer eines mysteriösen »Unfalls«, und Bruno wird zum Schutz der kleinen Runde abgeordnet. Aber nicht nur sein Scharfsinn, sondern auch seine Kochkünste sind gefragt: In der Abgeschiedenheit des Schlosses wappnet er sich gegen Übergriffe und sorgt mit Estragonhühnchen und Tarte tatin fürs leibliche Wohl.

Bruno nimmt uns mit auf einen Streifzug durch Saint-Denis, schlichtet kleine Nachbarschaftszwists und großes Gezeter am Markt und kümmert sich um allerlei missliche Angelegenheiten. Nur einmal gerät er ins Schwitzen: Als sein Freund, der Chef des beliebtesten Restaurants der Stadt, kurz vor einer großen Jubiläumsfeier ins Krankenhaus muss, bittet er Bruno, für ihn einzuspringen. Bruno zögert, atmet tief durch, krempelt die Ärmel hoch - und zaubert ein Festmahl und ganz nebenbei ein großartiges Lesevergnügen.
