To his surprise, he discovers that he has been named executor to the estate of an old lady that he’s never heard of, together with Myrna, the bookseller from Three Pines, and a young builder unknown to either of them named Benedict. Just as snow is starting to cover the roads, Gamache is driving to an old house that he has never seen before.
