Laurent is an energetically imaginative child who has worn out the villagers of Three Pines with his constant stories about what he has found, so they basically ignore the nine-year-old when he runs into the bistro shouting about a huge gun with a monster on it. When the child goes missing and is later found dead the next day, it is thought be be an accident alongside the road. When a search in the woods results in an amazing discovery of weaponry from decades prior, all kinds of questions arise, including: Is this why Laurent is dead? Does the discovery continue to present a danger?Because a mystery with Armand Gamache is never just one mystery, we also learn about a play that is about to be performed in the village, a play that the director found in her uncle's belongings after his death. In spite of the humor within the script, there is a dark story behind it.
Although Armand Gamache and his wife, Reine-Marie retired when they moved to the village, Gamache is very much involved in learning what is going on. Working with Isabelle Lacoste, the new head of homicide for the Sȗreté du Québec, and Jean-Guy Beauvoir, Gamache's former second-in-command, a gut-wrenching decision needs to be made in order to prevent grave horror.
