The investigation into what happened six months ago - the events that led to his suspension - has dragged on, into the dead of winter.

But it isn't the only menace Gamache is facing. But what if, Gamache begins to ask himself, she was perfectly sane? When a body is found, the terms of the bizarre will suddenly seem less peculiar and far more menacing. The will is so odd and includes bequests that are so wildly unlikely that Gamache and the other executors suspect the woman must have been delusional.

Still on suspension, and frankly curious, Gamache accepts. About the Book When a peculiar letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse, the former head of the Sãuretâe du Quâebec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will.
