A Great Reckoning
Book 12 of the Chief Inspector Gamache series
Gamache takes command of the Sûreté academy and discovers an old map of Three Pines that may hold clues to both the village and the institution's corruption. A professor's murder places cadets and senior officers under suspicion. Rebuilding the academy requires Gamache to make choices that appear dangerous even to people who trust him. Layered and character-driven, this mystery suits readers who enjoy maps, mentorship, police politics, and reckonings that demand more than identifying a killer.
