One autumn morning he comes across an abandoned car parked near a local beauty spot. Inside is a dead woman, Monique, an apparent suicide resulting from depression. But there are circumstances surrounding the death that raise Bruno's suspicions, particularly when disputes arise surrounding her Will.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"subcategories--mobile-button\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"subcategory-data--data pb-0 mb-0\"\u003eAt the same time, Bruno makes the mistake of interfering in a local marital dispute. Deputy mayor Xavier has been playing away and finds himself evicted from the family home.

Some of the ammunition for this attack, Bruno learns, comes from Xavier, who sees this as a way to topple Bruno and the mayor and succeed to the mayor's job himself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"subcategories--mobile-button\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"subcategory-data--data pb-0 mb-0\"\u003eSuddenly Bruno's shiny reputation is looking a little tarnished as he battles to save his name and answer the questions surrounding Monique's suicide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Walker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50918992052391,"sku":"9781529428377","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/4945\/4503\/files\/AnEnemyintheVillage-Walker-2026-9781529428377.jpg?v=1782614671","url":"https:\/\/www.murderousink.com.au\/products\/an-enemy-in-the-village","provider":"Murderous Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
