In her new novel, Louise Penny asks difficult questions about what society has lost and what it has gained after the pandemic— as well as how ready people are to follow the promises of new leaders.
An incident occurs in Quebec during a lecture by Professor Abigail Robinson, and senior inspector Gamache is forced to ensure her protection. The professor draws disapproval in the village of Three Pines, and on New Year’s Eve, a murder happens.
During the investigation, Gamache is confronted with a grim past and a terrible crime against humanity committed in a civilized country.
This is the final book in the series about senior inspector Gamache.
