Murder puts Three Pines back on the map in the latest mystery from #1 New York Times bestselling author
Louise Penny

Chief Inspector Gamache thought he knew everything about the place just beyond the U.S. border that he now calls home. But the village of Three Pines holds its secrets close, as Gamache is about to uncover when a long-buried map falls into his hands. Soon he finds himself coming face to face with an old friend, an older adversary, and a mysterious young woman who is linked to a shocking local murder. All roads lead Gamache down a dark path in which nothing is what it seems and he’s not sure who he can trust—even himself. ..

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.
