A visiting Professor of Statistics will be giving a lecture at the nearby university.<br /> While he is perplexed as to why the head of homicide for the Sûreté du Québec would be assigned this task, 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.<br /> They refuse, citing academic freedom, and accuse Gamache of censorship and intellectual cowardice. Before long, Professor Robinson's views start seeping into conversations. Spreading and infecting. So that truth and fact, reality and delusion are so confused it's near impossible to tell them apart.<br /> Discussions become debates, debates become arguments, which turn into fights. As sides are declared, a madness takes hold.<br /> Abigail Robinson promises that, if they follow her, <i>ça va bien aller</i>. All will be well. But not, Gamache and his team know, for everyone.<br /> When a murder is committed it falls to Armand Gamache, his second-in-command Jean-Guy Beauvoir, and their team to investigate the crime as well as this extraordinary popular delusion.<br /> And the madness of crowds.</p>.
