The novel A Very Brave Man continues the series of investigations of Chief Inspector Armand Gamache. This charming character is created by the pen of Louise Penny, the world's only five-time Agatha Christie Award winner. "Today is Armand Gamache's first day with the Quebec Police Force, where he has returned after a nine-month suspension following a series of ill-considered, damaging decisions," tweeted Gamache's detractors - no, Gamache's outright enemies. Yet the police know this: he's the best. He knows how to be desperately bold, risky and, no matter what the tweets say, highly effective. These are the kind of decisions the events that hit him on his first day on the job demand of the Chief Inspector. A young pregnant woman is missing, and he takes on the investigation with deep (and perhaps unwise) sympathy for her father, for the inspector also has a grown daughter! Meanwhile, the province of Quebec is threatened by a spring flood of epic proportions. An impending disaster always brings with it chaos, and Armand Gamache tries to counter it. Should he postpone the search for the missing woman, as his son-in-law - also a senior police inspector - believes, and attend to more pressing matters in the face of disaster? No. "A battle can be won on one front," Gamache declares. - But war is won on many." The ice on the rivers has already moved, bridge supports are cracking, a video defaming the honor of Arman Gamache has been launched on the Net... Will he be able to win his war? For the first time in Russian!
