Hardly a day goes by when nine year old Laurent Lepage
doesn't cry wolf. From alien invasions, to walking trees,
to winged beasts in the woods, to dinosaurs spotted in the
village of Three Pines, his tales are so extraordinary no
one can possibly believe him. Including Armand and
Reine-Marie Gamache, who now live in the little Quebec
village.
But when the boy disappears, the villagers
are faced with the possibility that one of his tall tales
might have been true.
And so begins a frantic search
for the boy and the truth. What they uncover deep in the
forest sets off a sequence of events that leads to murder,
leads to an old crime, leads to an old betrayal. Leads right
to the door of an old poet.
And now it is now, writes
Ruth Zardo. And the dark thing is here.
A monster once
visited Three Pines. And put down deep roots. And now, Ruth
knows, it is back.
Armand Gamache, the former head of
homicide for the Sûreté du Québec, must face the
possibility that, in not believing the boy, he himself
played a terrible part in what happens next.
