Autor: Louise Penny

Número de Páginas: 437

Un monasterio... Un asesinato... Un misterio. Una nueva, ingeniosa y apasionante entrega de la serie del inspector Armand Gamache. En un paraje virgen de Quebec, a orillas de un lago rodeado de bosques y muy alejado de la civilización, se encuentra el monasterio de Saint-Gilbert-Entre-les-Loups, donde dos docenas de monjes de clausura viven entregados a la contemplación. Cultivan un huerto, recogen los frutos del bosque, son autosuficientes y, sobre todo, cantan. Curiosamente, una comunidad que ha hecho voto de silencio es célebre en todo el mundo por sus salmodias gloriosas del canto gregoriano, cuyo impacto tan profundo en el espíritu del cantor y del oyente es conocido como «el bello misterio». Se asegura que los monjes jamás han abierto sus puertas a ningún extraño... hasta hoy, cuando los inspectores Armand Gamache y Jean-Guy Beauvoir, que llegan a bordo de una lancha motora, están a punto de convertirse en los primeros seres humanos ajenos a la orden en acceder al recinto. Su billete de entrada es un muerto, el hermano Mathieu, prior y maestro del coro, que ha sido asesinado tras recibir un fuerte golpe en el cráneo. Mientras la frágil armonía de la...

Una magnífica novela sobre la lealtad y la traición, la moralidad y la corrupción, las luces y las sombras de nuestras sociedades contemporáneas. La Navidad está a la vuelta de la esquina, y en Quebec eso significa nevadas que encandilan, luces de colores y encuentros con amigos ante una chimenea encendida. Sin embargo, para Armand Gamache, el inspector jefe de la Sûreté du Québec, estas fechas normalmente festivas quedan ensombrecidas: algunos de sus mejores agentes del Departamento de Homicidios han sido trasladados a otras unidades, lleva meses sin hablar con su viejo amigo, el teniente Jean-Guy Beauvoir, y fuerzas hostiles están alineándose contra él. Así, cuando recibe un mensaje de Myrna Landers desde el pueblecito de Three Pines, Gamache lo ve como una oportunidad para escapar unas horas de la ciudad. Una amiga de Myrna que iba a pasar la Navidad en el pueblo no se ha presentado. Aunque la anfitriona se resiste al principio a decir de quién se trata, el inspector jefe no tardará en descubrir que la desaparecida fue una de las mujeres más famosas no solo de Norteamérica, sino del mundo entero. A medida que avanza en sus investigaciones, y en medio de idas y...

Una noche fría y oscura, dos hombres conversan frente al hogar de una cabaña oculta entre la espesura de un bosque de Quebec.
