The Brutal Telling

This dazzling and dark story of greed, betrayal and murder is the fifth in the award-winning Canadian crime series featuring C. I. Gamache of the S ret du Quebec.

An ingenious and riveting mystery of murder, revenge and a cold-blooded killer, this is the internationally bestselling author's finest yet.
In the heart of the forest, two men sit at midnight, haunted by fear of discovery. In a few hours time, one of them will be dead, his secrets following him to the grave... When C. I. Gamache is called to investigate a murder in a picturesque Three Pines, he finds a village in chaos. A man has been found, bludgeoned to death, and there is no sign of a weapon, a motive or even the dead man s name. Gamache and his colleagues, Inspector Beauvoir and Agent Isabelle Lacoste, start to dig under the skin of this peaceful haven for clues. They slowly uncover a trail of stolen treasure, mysterious codes and a shameful history that begins to shed light on the victim s identity and point to a terrifying killer...
