Was this a natural death, or was the victim somehow helped along?<br /> Brilliant, compassionate Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sret du Qubec is called to investigate, in a case that will force him to face his own ghosts as well as those of a seemingly idyllic town where relationships are far more dangerous than they seem.</p> </div> </div
