All hell is here

On the evening of their arrival in Paris, the Gamaches meet in a bistro with Armand’s godfather, billionaire Stephen Horowitz. Leaving the restaurant, they watch in horror as the old man is struck down in what Gamache knows is no accident, but an assassination attempt.

A strange key found on the injured man leads Armand, his wife Reine-Marie, and Jean-Guy Beauvoir, his son-in-law and former right-hand man in the Sûreté, on a trail that stretches from the top of the Eiffel Tower to the bowels of the National Archives, passing through luxurious hotels and cryptic works of art. They must delve into the secrets Horowitz has hidden for decades.

However, a terrible discovery in his Parisian apartment shows that the danger is much greater. Soon, the entire family finds itself trapped in a web of lies and deceptions. Gamache will have to decide whether he prefers to trust his friends, his colleagues, his instinct… or his loved ones. For even the City of Light harbors shadowy areas where diabolical beings hide.
