The Grey Wolf
Book 19 of the Chief Inspector Gamache series
Gamache and his closest colleagues uncover signs of a threat reaching into the highest levels of government and policing. The investigation moves beyond Three Pines as familiar loyalties become difficult to distinguish from deliberate deception. A coded trail and mounting danger force Gamache to decide whom he can trust before a wider catastrophe unfolds. Tense and conspiratorial, this series installment suits readers who enjoy institutional intrigue, long-established relationships, hidden networks, and moral choices made when every alliance looks uncertain.
