Chapter 7 Summary

Before leaving Sûreté headquarters, Gamache visits Thérèse Brunel’s office. Thérèse is a Superintendent who joined the Sûreté when she was middle-aged. While Gamache’s career has been held back, Thérèse has excelled beyond him in rank, but Gamache doesn’t mind that she is his superior. Thérèse’s husband, Jérôme, a retired Emergency room doctor, is a talented amateur “cyber junkie.” Gamache asked Jérôme to investigate who leaked footage from the factory raid in which he and Beauvoir were injured. While the Cyber Crimes division concluded that a hacker had “gotten lucky,” Jérôme claims the files were too well guarded for that. The three of them believe that their investigation will lead “to the very highest level in the Sûreté” (55). Jérôme believes that he attracted a “watcher” while hacking into the network but doesn’t think that they know who he was. Still, it’s only a matter of time until they are discovered. Gamache asks Jérôme to be careful and returns to Three Pines with Henri.
