Louise Penny

Ny bok i serien om kommissarie Armand Gamache »Louise Pennys serie om Armand Gamache är en av mina favoritserier.« Lottens bokblogg »Jag förstår inte hur hon gör det, Louise Penny; i bok efter bok håller hon mig på tårna in i det sista, och här är hjärtklappningen på topp ända till slutet.« Bibbloagneta Under sin första kväll i Paris samlas familjen Gamache för en familjemiddag med Armands gudfar, miljardären Stephen Horowitz. Men kvällen slutar i tragedi när Stephen blir påkörd av en skåpbil och allvarligt skadad. Armand är övertygad om att det inte är någon olycka, utan ett medvetet mordförsök. En märklig nyckel som finns i Stephens ägo blir upptakten till en jakt på sanningen som tar Armand, hans fru Reine-Marie och hans före detta kollega, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, från toppen av Eiffeltornet till det franska nationalbibliotekets djupaste gömmor. Och en ohygglig upptäckt i Stephens lägenhet får dem att inse att faran är mycket större, och mer överhängande, än de först trott. När Armand börjar avslöja hemligheter som hans gudfar hållit dolda i årtionden finner han sig insnärjd i ett nät av lögner som hotar att förgöra allt han håller kärt. För till och med i Ljusets stad finns långa skuggor, och i mörkret gömmer sig djävulen själv. I översättning av Carla Wiberg.

Och det kan ju inget annat än bli perfekt.« Boksniffaren »Handlingen flyter snabbt på. Det är hela tiden spännande.« Birgitta Gärdin, Dast Magazine »En mycket välskriven och väldigt spännande bok med skicklig intrig.« Mias bok

Several weeks ago, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec and his team uncovered and stopped a domestic terrorist attack in Montréal, arresting the person behind it. A man they called the Black Wolf. But their relief is short-lived. In a sickening turn of events, Gamache has realized that plot, as horrific as it was, was just the beginning. Perhaps even a deliberate misdirection. One he fell into. Something deeper and darker, more damaging, is planned. Did he in fact arrest the Black Wolf, or are they still out there? Armand is appalled to think his mistake has allowed their conspiracy to grow, to gather supporters. To spread lies, manufacture enemies, and feed hatred and division. Still recovering from wounds received in stopping the first attack, Armand is confined to the village of Three Pines, leading a covert investigation from there. He must be careful not to let the Black Wolf know he has recognized his mistake. In a quiet church basement, he and his senior agents Beauvoir and Lacoste, pore over what little evidence they have. Two notebooks. A few mysterious numbers on a tattered map of Québec. And a phrase repeated by the person they had called the Grey Wolf. A warning... In a dry and parched land where there is no water. Gamache and his small team of supporters realize that for the Black Wolf to have gotten this far, they must have powerful allies, in law enforcement, in industry, in organized crime, in the halls of government. From the apparent peace of his little village, Gamache finds himself playing a lethal game of cat and mouse with an invisible foe who is gathering forces and preparing to strike.

A standalone thriller co-written by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Gamache series and an award-winning journalist. In a fast-paced, all-too-real thriller co-written by #1 New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny and award-winning journalist Mellissa Fung, global politics become personal for two unlikely heroines. Alice Li, a first-generation Chinese-American, is an erstwhile food blogger who has lived in the shadow of her mother, Vivien Li. A Chinese dissident who escaped China after Tiananmen Square, Vivien is now a globally recognized human rights activist and passionate advocate for a free and democratic China. When security and fire alarms go off simultaneously all around the world, setting off a panic, the signal is traced back to China. As world leaders scramble to respond, Vivien and Alice are called to the White House in hopes Madame Li can decode the Chinese intentions. While it makes some sense that the President would turn to Vivien, since she regularly advises world leaders on the actions of today's Chinese government, what isn't clear is why they'd want to talk to Alice. After looking at the evidence, Vivien says that the only thing worse than the Chinese government being behind it, is if they are not. It would mean, she explains, that some clandestine element within China is calling the shots. That the President of China has lost control. And an unstable China cannot be good for anyone. Or perhaps that's exactly what the shrewd old politician wants everyone to think. Caught up in the chaos, Vivien and Alice are uniquely placed to stop the next, cataclysmic attack. But there are forces deep within both the American and Chinese governments intent on stopping mother and daughter. The estranged pair, who excels at misunderstanding each other, must figure out how to work together. The increasingly frantic search for answers takes the women from the Oval Office to an office building in Akron, Ohio, from the noodle shops of Hong Kong to the necropolis of the first emperor. Along the way they must decode an old legend, and an old language invented by women, for women. The Last Mandarin is an electrifying study of absolute power and voracious greed, political terror and personal conviction. But it is also, as to be expected from the minds of Louise Penny, beloved author of the Gamache novels, and Mellissa Fung, an acclaimed international journalist, an intimate examination of choice, of sacrifice, of memory and myths, both cultural and personal. It is the story of a mother and daughter, as well as a compelling international thriller about the precarious balance of power across the world, and within a family. And what happens when both break down.

Det er forår, og Three Pines vågner langsomt op efter en barsk vinter. Da et ungt søskendepar, som kriminalkommissær Armand Gamache og Jean-Guy Beauvoir ikke har set siden mordet på deres mor mange år forinden, dukker op i Three Pines, begynder uroen at vokse i dem. De unge mennesker var blot børn, da deres mor blev myrdet, og Gamache og Beauvoir havde ikke forventet at se dem igen. Så hvad bringer dem til landsbyen nu? Den tragiske sag var den første, Gamache og Beauvoir løste sammen, og de frygter, at de to søskende har lidt uoprettelig skade af hændelsen. Pludselig begynder følelser, der har ligget begravet i årtier, at vriste sig fri af mulden. Da et 160 år gammelt brev fra en afdød murer dukker op, bliver Gamache yderligere alarmeret. I brevet fortæller mureren om sin rædsel over at skulle mure et af landsbyens loftsrum til, og hvert eneste ord er gennemsyret af frygt. Det bliver besluttet, at loftsrummet skal åbnes, og derinde opdager Gamache, Beauvoir og landsbyboerne et væld af mysterier og skjulte hævnvarsler. En gammel fjende er sluppet løs, og Gamaches eget hjem er i skudlinjen.
