PRESS RELEASE FROM MALAPROP’S:

Tickets are $40.00 and include a hardcover copy of A Great Reckoning. They are going fast – if you’d like to join us please call the store at (828) 254-6734 or purchase online.
“A Great Reckoning, the lyrical 12th entry (after 2015’s The Nature of the Beast) in bestseller Penny’s remarkable series, which has won multiple Agatha awards, finds former Chief Inspector Armand Gamache coming out of retirement to clean up the corrupt Süreté Academy du Québec.
When an old map is found hidden in the wall of a bistro in Three Pines, the remote village in which Gamache and his wife live, the locals treat it as only an interesting artifact. But Gamache uses the mystery of the map’s origin to engage the interest of four cadets at the academy who are in particular danger of going astray. This complex novel deals with universal themes of compassion, weakness in the face of temptation, forgiveness, and the danger of falling into despair and cynicism over apparently insurmountable evils.”
