With beautifully drawn characters, this is crime writing of the
highest order' DAILY MAIL'A satisfying and multi-layered mystery,
in Penny's excellent series' IRISH INDEPENDENT'Louise Penny is on
peak form ... a grown-up, timely thriller that considers the nature

place and characterisation ... very much a book that will make you
think' SHOTSWhen Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is asked to provide
crowd control at a statistics lecture given at the Universite de
l'Estrie in Quebec, he is dubious. Why ask the head of homicide to
provide security for what sounds like a minor, even mundane
lecture? But dangerous ideas about who deserves to live in order
for society to thrive are rapidly gaining popularity, fuelled by
the research of the eminent Professor Abigail Robinson.Yet for
every person seduced by her theories there is another who is
horrified by them. When a murder is committed days after the
lecture, it's clear that within crowds can lie madness. To uncover
the truth, Gamache must put his own feelings about the divisive
Professor to one side.But with her ideas gaining ground, the line
separating good and evil, right and wrong, is quickly blurring -
especially when the case leads unexpectedly close to home ...

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
