"Enchanting…one of [Gamache's] more ennobling missions." --Marilyn Stasio,
The New York Times Book Review It's Chief Inspector Armand Gamache's first day back on the job and flood waters are rising across the province. In the midst of the turmoil, a father approaches Gamache, pleading for help in finding his daughter. Gamache, doing his best to manage the chaos, knows that the search for Vivienne Godin should be abandoned. But with a daughter of his own, Gamache can't help but ask himself: How would you feel? He's already developed a profound, and perhaps unwise, empathy for the girl's father. So he continues the search.
As the rivers rise, and the social media onslaught against Gamache becomes crueler, a body is discovered. And in the tumult, mistakes are made. Soon, Gamache must face a horrific possibility--and another burning question: What would you do if your child's killer walked free?
