Summary | It starts innocently enough. While the residents of the Québec village of Three Pines take advantage of the deep snow to ski and toboggan, to drink hot chocolate in the bistro and share meals together, the Chief Inspector finds his holiday with his family interrupted by a simple request. A visiting Professor of Statistics will be giving a lecture at the nearby university and he is asked to provide security. It promises to be a non-event. He is perplexed as to why the head of homicide for the Sûreté Québec would be assigned such a straightforward task. But when he looks into Professor Abigail Robinson he discovers an agenda so repulsive he begs the university to cancel the lecture. They refuse, citing academic freedom, and accuse Gamache of censorship and intellectual cowardice. Soon, Professor Robinson's views start seeping into conversations and truth and fact, reality and delusion become near impossible to tell apart. Discussions become debates, debates become arguments, which turn into fights. As sides are declared, a madness takes hold. And when a murder is committed, Gamache and his team investigate the crime and the madness of crowds. |
