IRISH TIMESThere is more to solving a crime than following the clues. Welcome to Chief
Inspector Gamache's world of facts and feelings. Winter in Three Pines and the sleepy village
is carpeted in snow. It's a time of peace and goodwill - until a scream pierces the biting air.
A spectator at the annual Boxing Day curling match has been fatally electrocuted. Despite the
large crowd there are no witnesses and - apparently - no clues. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache
discovers a history of secrets and enemies in the dead woman's past. But he has enemies of his
own and as he is frozen out of decision-making in the police force he has to decide who he
can trust ... Millions of readers worldwide. One inimitable Chief Inspector Gamache.
