Chief Inspector Armand Gamache sees things that others do not: the light between the cracks, the mythic in the mundane, and the evil in the seemingly ordinary. Upon investigating a series of murders in Three Pines, a seemingly idyllic village in the Eastern Townships, he discovers long-buried secrets and must face ghosts of his own.
