"Riveting descriptions of Zuni religious rites give this Edgar Award-winning mystery real distinction."--Newsweek
"As I sleep, my mind will erase everything I did today. I will wake up tomorrow as I did this morning.
Thinking I'm still a child. Thinking I have a whole lifetime of choice ahead of me...."
Memories define us. So what if you lost yours every time you went to sleep? Your name, your identity, your past, even the people you love—all forgotten overnight. And the one person you trust may be telling you only half the story.
Welcome to Christine's life.
CC de Poitiers managed to alienate everyone in the hamlet of Three Pines, right up to the moment she died. When Chief Inspector Armand Gamache begins his investigation, it seems like an impossible murder: CC was electrocuted on a frozen lake, in front of the entire town, during the annual curling tournament. With compassion and courage, Gamache digs beneath the idyllic surface of village life to find long buried secrets, while his own enemies threaten to bring something even more chilling than the bitter winter winds to Three Pines.
