The Black Wolf : A Novel

Join Chief Inspector Armand Gamache in ‘The Black Wolf,’ the gripping 20th installment of Louise Penny’s celebrated #1 New York Times-bestselling series. After halting a dire terrorist threat in Montréal, Gamache and his team must contend with the haunting possibility that they’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg. The man arrested, known as the Black Wolf, might not be the main architect of the chaos, suggesting a deeper menace lurking in the shadows. As Gamache recuperates in the tranquil village of Three Pines, he steers a covert operation, grappling with sparse clues—a couple of notebooks, cryptic numbers on a worn Québec map, and a foreboding phrase lending a clue to the scale of the looming danger. This novel intricately weaves a tale of suspense and psychological depth, where Gamache, bound by his injuries and the confines of his village, must outsmart a cunning adversary who remains several steps ahead in a perilous game of deception and terror.
