Maggiori informazioni sul libro
As the New Year approaches, Armand Gamache faces accusations of cowardice while trying to enjoy a holiday in the Québec village of Three Pines. His family time is disrupted by a request to provide security for a seemingly innocuous lecture by Professor Abigail Robinson at a nearby university. Initially baffled by the assignment, Gamache soon uncovers a disturbing agenda behind Robinson's views. Despite his concerns, the university refuses to cancel the lecture, defending academic freedom and accusing him of censorship. As Robinson's controversial ideas infiltrate conversations, the community becomes polarized, blurring the lines between truth and delusion. What begins as casual discussions escalates into heated arguments and conflict, fueled by Robinson's promise that following her will lead to well-being. However, Gamache and his team realize the danger this presents. When a murder occurs, it falls to them to investigate not only the crime but also the extraordinary delusion gripping the town. In the face of escalating madness, Gamache must navigate a landscape where reality is increasingly distorted, and the stakes are life and death.
