About the Book

En el noveno caso del inspector jefe Gamache, el carismático protagonista de una serie que ha cautivado a más de8 millones de lectores en todo el mundo, Louise Penny ha escrito 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 venidas entre Montreal y Three Pines durante un invierno muy duro, Gamache destapa una red de asesinatos, mentiras y corrupción de una envergadura colosal. Algo terrible se está tramando en la «jerarquía policial», y el inspector jefe hará todo lo posible para descubrir qué es. Enfrentado a su caso más perturbador hasta la fecha, ¿podrá salvar la reputación de la Sûreté, a las personas que aprecia y a sí mismo?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The #1 New York Times Bestseller

There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. ―Leonard Cohen

Christmas is approaching, and in Québec it's a time of dazzling snowfalls, bright lights, and gatherings with friends in front of blazing hearths. But shadows are falling on the usually festive season for Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. Most of his best agents have left the Homicide Department, his old friend and lieutenant Jean-Guy Beauvoir hasn't spoken to him in months, and hostile forces are lining up against him. When Gamache receives a message from Myrna Landers that a longtime friend has failed to arrive for Christmas in the village of Three Pines, he welcomes the chance to get away from the city. Mystified by Myrna's reluctance to reveal her friend's name, Gamache soon discovers the missing woman was once one of the most famous people not just in North America, but in the world, and now goes unrecognized by virtually everyone except the mad, brilliant poet Ruth Zardo.

As events come to a head, Gamache is drawn ever deeper into the world of Three Pines. Increasingly, he is not only investigating the disappearance of Myrna's friend but also seeking a safe place for himself and his still-loyal colleagues. Is there peace to be found even in Three Pines, and at what cost to Gamache and the people he holds dear?

How the Light Gets In is the ninth Chief Inspector Gamache Novel from Louise Penny.
