Book 18 in the acclaimed and number one-bestselling Three Pines
series featuring the beloved Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. It's
spring and Three Pines is re-emerging after the harsh winter. But
not everything buried should come alive again. Not everything lying
dormant should return. But something has. As the villagers prepare
for a special celebration, Armand Gamache and Jean-Guy Beauvoir
find themselves increasingly worried. A young man and woman have
reappeared in the Sûreté du Québec investigators' lives after
many years. The two were young children when their troubled mother
was murdered, leaving them damaged, shattered. Now they've arrived
in the village of Three Pines. But to what end? Gamache and
Beauvoir's memories of that tragic case, the one that first brought
them together, come rushing back. Did their mother's murder hurt
them beyond repair? Have those terrible wounds, buried for decades,
festered and are now about to erupt? As Chief Inspector Gamache
works to uncover answers, his alarm grows when a letter written by
a long dead stone mason is discovered. In it the man describes his
terror when bricking up an attic room somewhere in the village.
Every word of the 150-year-old letter is filled with dread. When
the room is found, the villagers decide to open it up. As the
bricks are removed, Gamache, Beauvoir and the villagers discover a
world of curiosities. But the head of homicide soon realizes
there's more in that room than meets the eye. There are puzzles
within puzzles, and hidden messages warning of mayhem and revenge.
In unsealing that room, an old enemy is released into their world.
Into their lives. And into the very heart of Armand Gamache's home.
