"When a mysterious figure appears in Three Pines one cold November day, Armand Gamache and the rest of the villagers are at first curious. Then wary. Through rain and sleet, the figure stands unmoving, staring ahead. From the moment its shadow falls over the village, Gamache, now Chief Superintendent of the Sûreté du Québec, suspects the creature has deep roots and a dark purpose. Yet he does nothing. What can he do? Only watch and wait. And hope his mounting fears are not realized. But when the figure vanishes overnight and a body is discovered, it falls to Gamache to discover if a debt has been paid or levied. Months later, on a steamy July day as the trial for the accused begins in Montréal, Chief Superintendent Gamache continues to struggle with actions he set in motion that bitter November, from which there is no going back. More than the accused is on trial. Gamache's own conscience is standing in judgment" -- provided by publisher.

This is the 13th book in the Inspector Gamache novels. It is another excellent outing by Louise Penny. I love that the characters continue to evolve throughout the entire series. This book centers on the drug trade within Canada and between Canada and the US and focuses on the theme of conscience through the use of a cobrador del franc. The frame of the book is hung around Gamache's testimony in the court case of the defendant accused of killing a woman in the basement of the church in Three Pines.
