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, 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 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. Bestseller. 2016.

When a mysterious figure appears in Three Pines one cold November day, Armand Gamache and the rest of the villagers…
are at first curious. Then wary. Through rain and sleet, the figure stands unmoving, staring ahead.

What can he do? Only watch and wait. And hope his mounting fears are not realized. But when the figure vanishes overnight and a body is discovered, it falls to Gamache to discover if a debt has been paid or levied. Months later, on a steamy July day as the trial for the accused begins in Montréal, Chief Superintendent Gamache continues to struggle with actions he set in motion that bitter November, from which there is no going back.
