The first four books in the Bruno, Chief of Police series by Martin Walker are available as an omnibus. This is an excellent mystery series, set in the Périgord region of France, with food, prehistoric man, and rugby running as themes through the books. I've read and enjoyed all four of these.
The four books are
Bruno, Chief of Police
The Dark Vineyard
Black Diamond
The Crowded Grave
