On the first day of his new job, Armand Gamache is given the gift of an intricate old map that was stuffed in the walls of the bistro of Three Pines.the Qu.bec village he now calls home. The map eventually leads him to shattering secrets, and an old friend and older adversary. It leads the former Chief of Homicide to places even he is afraid to go. But must. There he finds four young cadets in the police academy, and a dead professor. And, with the body, a copy of the old, odd map. Everywhere Gamache turns, he sees one of the cadets.
