For both Amelia Choquet and Armand Gamache, the time has come for a great reckoning. The frantic search for answers takes the investigators back to Three Pines and a stained-glass window with its own horrific secrets. 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. The focus of the investigation soon turns to Gamache himself and his mysterious relationship with Amelia, and his possible involvement in the crime. Amelia is more likely to be found on the other side of a police line-up. Everywhere Gamache turns, he sees Amelia Choquet, one of the cadets. And, with the body, a copy of the old, odd map. And there he finds four young cadets in the S ret academy, and a dead professor. It leads the former Chief of Homicide for the S ret du Qu Bec to places even he is afraid to go. Given to Armand Gamache as a gift the first day of his new job, the map eventually leads him to shattering secrets.

But the closer the villagers look, the stranger it becomes. 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. Louis Post-Dispatch#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.
