Description

The novel "Glass Houses" continues the series of investigations by Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. This charming character was created by the pen of Louise Penny, the only person in the world who has won Agatha Christie’s prize five times.

In the village of Three Pines, Halloween is celebrated cheerfully. But the festive mood fades when a strange figure in a black robe and a mask appears on the village green. Inspector of Police Gamache, trying to understand who the person is, attempts to talk to him and lead him away. Yet the stranger stands unshakably—although, it seems, he has no intention of harming anyone. It turns out he is portraying a cobra-dora, a Spanish debt collector who, in the Middle Ages, pursued debtors silently, calling on their conscience. So why has the debt collector come to Three Pines? While the locals ponder this question, the stranger disappears, and in the church cellar they find a dead body in the costume of a debt collector. One of the guests who came for the holiday has been murdered. The motive is unclear, but it seems the victim saw something that was not meant for anyone else’s eyes…
