No outsiders are ever admitted to the monastery of Saint-Gilbert-Entre-les-Loups, hidden deep in the wilderness of Quebec, where two dozen cloistered monks live in peace and prayer. They grow vegetables, they tend chickens, they make chocolate. And they sing. Ironically, for a community that has taken a vow of silence, the monks have become world-famous for their glorious voices, raised in ancient chants whose effect on both singer and listener is so profound it is known as “the beautiful mystery.”

The discovery of a dead body in the woods on Thanksgiving Weekend brings Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his colleagues from the Surete du Quebec to a small village in the Eastern Townships. Gamache cannot understand why anyone would want to deliberately kill well-loved artist Jane Neal, especially any of the residents of Three Pines - a place so free from crime it doesn't even have its own police force.

Relentless phone calls interrupt the peace of a warm August morning in Three Pines. Though the tiny Québec village is impossible to find on any map, someone has managed to track down Armand Gamache, head of homicide at the Sûreté, as he sits with his wife in their back garden. Reine-Marie watches with increasing unease as her husband refuses to pick up, though he clearly knows who is on the other end. When he finally answers, his rage shatters the calm of their quiet Sunday morning.

State of Terror follows a novice Secretary of State who has joined the administration of her rival, a president inaugurated after four years of American leadership that shrank from the world stage. A series of terrorist attacks throws the global order into disarray and the secretary is tasked with assembling a team to unravel the deadly conspiracy, a scheme carefully designed to take advantage of an American government dangerously out of touch and out of power in the places where it counts the most.

In Three Pines bricht der Frühling an, doch die Idylle wird jäh gestört, als Clara Morrow die Leiche der Kunstkritikerin Lillian Dyson in ihrem Blumenbeet findet – kurz nach Claras erfolgreicher Ausstellung. In seinem 7. Fall steht Chief Inspector Armand Gamache gemeinsam mit seinem Stellvertreter Jean-Guy Beauvoir vor einer kniffligen Mordermittlung mit zahlreichen Verdächtigen aus der Kunstszene. Während sie die Wahrheit aufdecken, kämpfen beide zudem mit den seelischen Narben eines traumatischen Einsatze, der ihre Freundschaft stark belastet...

Several weeks ago, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec and his team uncovered and stopped a domestic terrorist attack in Montréal, arresting the person behind it. A man they called the Black Wolf. But their relief is short-lived. In a sickening turn of events, Gamache has realized that plot, as horrific as it was, was just the beginning. Perhaps even a deliberate misdirection. One he fell into. Something deeper and darker, more damaging, is planned. Did he in fact arrest the Black Wolf, or are they still out there?

Enthält: Lange Schatten ∙ Wenn die Blätter sich rot färben ∙ Heimliche Fährten

Ninguém gostava de CC de Poitiers: nem o marido patético, nem a filha apática e muito menos os moradores de Three Pines. Ela conseguiu se indispor com todos à sua volta até o dia em que foi morta. O inspetor-chefe Armand Gamache, uma lenda na polícia do Quebec, é chamado de volta ao vilarejo para investigar esse novo homicídio.

Three Pines. In den Wäldern Kanadas, nur eine Stunde von Montréal entfernt, liegt dieses idyllische Dorf. Aber am Morgen nach Halloween legt sich ein Schatten über Three Pines. Mitten im Dorf steht eine düster verkleidete Gestalt. Niemand weiß, wer sie ist und was sie vorhat. Auch Armand Gamache, der Polizeichef von Québec, der in Three Pines ein Wochenendhaus besitzt, um sich von seiner aufreibenden Arbeit zu erholen, kann ihr kein Wort entlocken. Was sollte er auch tun? Herumzustehen ist schließlich keine Straftat.

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».

Clara Morrow lleva muchos años trabajando en el más absoluto anonimato como pintora aficionada en Three Pines, un tranquilo pueblecito de las afueras de Montreal. Así que, cuando el Musée d'Art Contemporain de la capital decide acoger una exposición sobre su obra, Clara no da crédito a la noticia.

Denn seit Jahren schon bringt die Polizeischule erschreckend viele brutale Beamte hervor. Gleich mit seinen ersten Personalentscheidungen stößt Gamache auf Unverständnis: Warum lässt er den korrupten ehemaligen Leiter der Akademie, Serge Leduc, weiterhin dort unterrichten? Und was sieht er in der ruppigen, am ganzen Körper tätowierten Bewerberin Amelia Coquet?

Mientras Quebec se estremece en pleno invierno y el frío agrieta la piedra de sus viejas murallas, el inspector jefe Gamache, de baja tras una trágica operación policial, trata de recobrar fuerzas en la casa de su amigo y mentor, Émile Comeau, en el casco antiguo de la ciudad. Hundido física y psicológicamente, el célebre jefe de Homicidios intenta sosegar su mente con un proyecto personal que lo lleva a diario a la Sociedad Literaria e Histórica, un céntrico edificio que alberga miles de volúmenes legados durante décadas por la minoritaria comunidad inglesa de Quebec.

Jane Neal, uma pacata professora de 76 anos, foi encontrada morta, atingida por uma flecha no bosque. Os moradores acreditam que a tragédia não passa de um infeliz acidente, já que é temporada de caça, mas Gamache pressente que há algo bem mais sombrio acontecendo.
