THE MADNESS OF CROWDS - LOUISE PENNY KARTONIERT...

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache returns to Three Pines in #1 New York Times bestseller Louise
Penny's latest spellbinding novelYou're a coward.Time and again  as the New Year approaches 
that charge is leveled against Armand Gamache.It starts innocently enough.While the residents
of the Québec village of Three Pines take advantage of the deep snow to ski and toboggan  to
drink hot chocolate in the bistro and share meals together  the Chief Inspector finds his
holiday with his family interrupted by a simple request.He's asked to provide security for what
promises to be a non-event. A visiting Professor of Statistics will be giving a lecture at the
nearby university.While he is perplexed as to why the head of homicide for the Sûreté du Québec
would be assigned this task  it sounds easy enough. That is until Gamache starts looking into
Professor Abigail Robinson and discovers an agenda so repulsive he begs the university to
cancel the lecture.They refuse  citing academic freedom  and accuse Gamache of censorship and
intellectual cowardice. Before long  Professor Robinson's views start seeping into
conversations. Spreading and infecting. So that truth and fact  reality and delusion are so
confused it's near impossible to tell them apart.Discussions become debates  debates become
arguments  which turn into fights. As sides are declared  a madness takes hold.Abigail Robinson
promises that  if they follow her  ça va bien aller. All will be well. But not  Gamache and his
team know  for everyone.When a murder is committed it falls to Armand Gamache  his
second-in-command Jean-Guy Beauvoir  and their team to investigate the crime as well as this
extraordinary popular delusion.And the madness of crowds.
