Persistent telephone calls disturb the peaceful August morning of the Gamaches in Three Pines. Reine-Marie watches with displeasure as her husband refuses to answer, even though he clearly knows who is calling. When Armand finally picks up, his anger shatters the pleasant Sunday morning. A missing coat, a triggered alarm, a message reading You might find this interesting and a mysterious scrap of paper bearing a list are followed by murder. All these clues lead Inspector Gamache to a terrifying discovery: something far more sinister than murder is approaching. Armand Gamache, his son-in-law and deputy Jean-Guy Beauvoir, and Inspector Isabelle Lacoste can trust only one another, as old friends behave like enemies and longtime adversaries suddenly appear to be allies. As they gradually realize the true scale of the danger, their hunt for the prey becomes increasingly desperate and feverish. If they fail, the consequences will be devastating.
