It's Quebec City's Winter Carnival, beyond gorgeous and unbearably cold. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is here to heal from an eerily flawed investigation, not to partake in the festivities. However, even at the ostensibly safe haven of the Literary and Historical Society, where a murder occurs as a result of an obsessive historian's search for the bones of Quebec's founder, Samuel de Champlain, violent death is unavoidable. Could someone murder to defend a secret that had been hidden from Champlain for over 400 years?
Gamache can't leave a crime that might rekindle long-simmering tensions between the English and the French, even if he is meant to be on leave. In the meanwhile, he is getting unsettling correspondence from Three Pines, the community where the adored Bistro owner Olivier was just found guilty of killing someone. Olivier's partner writes, "It doesn't make sense," every day. "He didn't do it, you know." Gamache has to relive the horrific incident from his own history before he can bury his dead in this amazing tale where the past and present meet.
