Few writers in any genre can match Penny’s ability to combine heartbreak and hope in the same scene.
Publishers Weekly

Join Louise Penny, the beloved Canadian author of the international bestselling Chief Inspector Gamache series, for an evening of conversation in celebration of her latest novel, The Black Wolf.

One of the most celebrated crime writers of our time, Penny’s novels have sold over 18 million copies worldwide and been translated into 35 languages. Her work has topped bestseller lists across North America and beyond, earning her seven Agatha Awards, multiple Anthony Awards, and some of the highest literary honors in crime fiction. She is also a recipient of both the Order of Canada and l’Ordre national du Québec.

“A daring author,” (The Globe and Mail) Penny’s books follow Chief Inspector Armand Gamache as he digs into the mysteries of the fictional Quebecois village, Three Pines. This quiet, close-knit community seems untouched by the outside world, yet is no stranger to secrets and crime. Her latest release, The Black Wolf, is the 20th installment in the series.

This 60-minute moderated discussion, followed by an audience Q&A, offers a rare opportunity to hear Penny discuss her inspirations, her writing process, and what’s next for Gamache. Don’t miss this exclusive evening with one of Canada’s most decorated and beloved authors, whose books have been called “a stunning and exhilarating” blend of mystery and heart (Wall Street Journal).

Book Bundles & Signed Books: 

Signed copies of The Black Wolf, along with Penny’s previous titles, will be available to purchase in a bundle with tickets, as well as at the event itself. Book orders are organized by Book Warehouse, Vancouver’s independent bookseller.
