The beloved Chief Inspector Gamache returns in the next instalment of the extraordinarily successful detective series!

Spring comes to the peaceful Quebec village of Three Pines – and with it, the dark shadows of the past. When two children whose mother was brutally murdered years ago reappear in the lives of Armand Gamache and his colleague Beauvoir, an old case full of unhealed wounds is reopened. At the same time, a mysterious letter is found from a stonemason who, 160 years ago, walled up an attic room in terror. When the villagers open it, they uncover much more than just forgotten objects – they release something that should have remained buried forever. Tense, chilling, and deeply human – Louise Penny once again proves why she is one of the most popular authors in the detective genre.
