Chaos is coming, old son....

With these words the peace of Three Pines is shattered. Everybody goes to Olivier's bistro in the tiny village including a stranger who is found on the floor with his head bashed in. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, who knows and likes nearly everyone in Three Pines, is summoned from Québec to investigate, and is dismayed to find that Olivier's story is full of holes. Could the beloved bistro owner have known the victim after all? And what are his fingerprints doing all over the cabin that's discovered deep in the wilderness, with priceless antiques and the dead man's blood?

As the villagers' secrets come spilling out, Gamache follows a trail of clues and treasures from first editions of Charlotte's Web and Jane Eyre to a spider web with a word mysteriously woven in it into the woods and across the continent, only to return to Three Pines to confront the truth and the final, brutal telling.
