evil quite as scarily as Louise Penny' ANN CLEEVES 'This is crime writing of the highest order'
DAILY MAIL Relentless phone calls interrupt the peace of a warm August morning in the small
village of Three Pines in Quebec. Someone has managed to track down Armand Gamache head of
homicide as he sits with his wife in their back garden. When he finally answers the call his
rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning. That's only the first in a sequence of
strange events that begin THE GREY WOLF. At first they seem small - a missing coat a note for
Gamache reading "this might interest you" a puzzling scrap of paper with a mysterious list -
but then a murder. All propel Chief Inspector Gamache and his team toward a terrible
realization. Something much more sinister than any one murder or any one case is fast
approaching. A threat unlike anything they've seen before. PRAISE FOR LOUISE PENNY AND THE
CHIEF INSPECTOR GAMACHE SERIES: 'Penny delves into the nature of evil sensitively exploring
the impact of the dreadful events she describes while bringing a warmth and humanity to her
disparate cast of characters that unusually for a crime novel leaves you feeling better about
the world once you've finished' BOOK OF THE MONTH OBSERVER 'Louise Penny is one of the
greatest crime writers of our times' DENISE MINA 'No one does atmospheric quite like Louise
Penny' ELLY GRIFFITHS
