The Grey Wolf A Novel

The 19th mystery in the #1 New York Times-bestselling Armand Gamache series begins with relentless phone calls interrupting the peace of a warm August morning in Three Pines. Though the tiny Québec village is impossible to find on any map, someone manages 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, and when he finally answers, his rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning. That is only the first in a sequence of strange events, including a missing coat, an intruder alarm, a mysterious note for Gamache, and a puzzling scrap of paper with a list—and then a murder. All of these events propel Chief Inspector Gamache and his team, including Jean-Guy Beauvoir, his son-in-law and second in command, and Inspector Isabelle Lacoste, toward a terrible realization: something much more sinister than any one murder or case is fast approaching. Determined to track down the enormous threat before it becomes a reality, their pursuit grows increasingly desperate and frantic, taking them across Québec and across borders. In this case, they can only trust each other, as old friends begin to act like enemies, and long-time enemies appear to be friends. If they fail, the devastating consequences would reach into the largest of cities and the smallest of villages, including Three Pines.
