The 21st installment in the Chief Inspector Gamache series begins with a frantic middle-of-the-night phone call reporting a body in a place called Lost Nation. Gamache has no idea where Lost Nation is, but he knows the caller sounded terrified — and the call seems to have come from his friend and neighbor, Clara Morrow. The body turns out to belong to a man who appears to be from a different century entirely, found on an unmarked grave in a long-abandoned cemetery. As Gamache's team digs deeper, the case pulls in a lost ship, a Victorian botanist's papers, and a rare plant that hasn't been seen in a hundred years. It's a typically atmospheric Three Pines mystery layered with old secrets and modern danger.
