    Le Périgord est la patrie de la truffe noire, un trésor régional dont le prix atteint 5000 euros le kilo. Lorsque des rumeurs circulent sur un mélange de truffes noires sur le marché local avec des importations bon marché d'Asie, Bruno, le chef de police, se lance dans une enquête. Les choses prennent une tournure dramatique avec le meurtre de son vieil ami Hercule, le plus grand expert en truffes de la région. Bruno doit alors établir un lien entre ce crime et d'anciens délits liés à l'histoire coloniale peu glorieuse de la France en Indochine. Ce récit, qui commence comme une exploration tranquille d'une spécialité culinaire, se transforme en un thriller palpitant s'étendant sur plusieurs continents et un demi-siècle.
