"You're a coward." Time and again, as the New Year approaches, that charge is leveled against Armand Gamache. The Chief Inspector finds his holiday with his family interrupted by a simple request. He's asked to provide security for what promises to be a non-event. A visiting Professor of Statistics will be giving a lecture at the nearby university. It sounds easy enough, that is until Gamache starts looking into Professor Abigail Robinson and discovers an agenda so repulsive he begs the university to cancel the lecture. Before long, Professor Robinson's views start seeping into conversations. Spreading and infecting.
