Relentless phone calls interrupt the peace of a warm August morning in Three Pines. Though the tiny Québec village is impossible to find on any map, someone has managed to track down Armand Gamache, head of homicide at the Sûreté, as he sits with his wife in their back garden. Reine-Marie watches with increasing unease as her husband refuses to pick up, though he clearly knows who is on the other end. When he finally answers, his rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning.

Após um tumultuado período na política americana, um novo presidente assume o poder e, para a surpresa de todos, escolhe uma adversária para o importante cargo de secretária de Estado. Trata-se de pura estratégia: Ellen Adams sempre foi uma crítica mordaz de Douglas Williams, mas, ao assumir a nova função, precisa abandonar seu império midiático e se silenciar.

Nach einer Suspendierung wegen diverser Fehlentscheidungen ist Armand Gamache zurück bei der Sûreté du Québec, allerdings nicht als Chief Superintendent, sondern nur als Chief Inspector der Mordkommission – womit er und Schwiegersohn Jean-Guy Beauvoir jetzt gleichgestellt sind. Die Luft ist zum Zerreißen gespannt an Gamaches erstem Arbeitstag, in den sozialen Medien fällt man über ihn her, und sein neuer Fall hat es in sich: Eine junge schwangere Frau ist verschwunden, womöglich gar ermordet worden. Verdächtigt wird ihr Ehemann, der ihr gegenüber schon mehrmals handgreiflich geworden ist.
