#1 New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny pulls back the
layers to reveal a brilliant and emotionally powerful truth in her
latest spellbinding novel.
When an intricate old map is found stuffed into the walls of the bistro
in Three Pines, it at first seems no more than a curiosity. But the
closer the villagers look, the stranger it becomes.
Given to Armand Gamache as a gift the first day of his new job, the map
eventually leads him to shattering secrets. To an old friend and older
adversary. It leads the former Chief of Homicide for the Sûreté du
Québec to places even he is afraid to go. But must.
And there he finds four young cadets in the Sûreté academy, and a dead
professor. And, with the body, a copy of the old, odd map.
Everywhere Gamache turns, he sees Amelia Choquet, one of the cadets.
Tattooed and pierced. Guarded and angry. Amelia is more likely to be
found on the other side of a police line-up. And yet she is in the
academy. A protégée of the murdered professor.
The focus of the investigation soon turns to Gamache himself and his
mysterious relationship with Amelia, and his possible involvement in the
crime. The frantic search for answers takes the investigators back to
Three Pines and a stained glass window with its own horrific secrets.
For both Amelia Choquet and Armand Gamache, the time has come for a
great reckoning.
This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market
paperback.
