Armand Gamache and the other residents of Three Pines are first intrigued by the appearance of an enigmatic stranger on a chilly November day. And cautious. The person seems frozen in place, gazing straight ahead through rain and sleet.
From the moment the creature's shadow falls over the village, Gamache, now Chief Superintendent of the Sûreté du Quebec, suspects it has deep roots and a dark purpose. Yet he does nothing. How can he help? Just wait and observe. And pray his growing anxieties come to nothing.
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.
Many months later, on a sweltering July day, when the accused's trial gets underway in Montréal, Chief Superintendent Gamache is still grappling with the decisions he made that terrible November that he can never undo. The accused is not the only one on trial. Gamache is being judged by his own conscience.
Louise Penny, the number one New York Times bestselling novelist, defies the rules of the mystery fiction in her newest intensely compelling work, which delves into what Gandhi referred to as the court of conscience. a court with ultimate authority.
