All the Devils are Here

 by Louise Penny

This is her newest book.  This one is set in Paris.  Inspector Gamache and his wife are in Paris awaiting the birth of their grand-daughter to their daughter and Gamache's former 2IC Jean-Guy

Gamache's godfather, with whom he was very close, as this man helped to raise him after his parents died, is also in Paris for the event.

The group has a family dinner after which Gamache and his wife see the Godfather, Stephen, hit by a truck.  They think it was deliberate but the police are skeptical until they find out that Stephen was staying at an expensive Paris hotel instead of in his Paris apartment and when Gamache and his wife go to the apartment they find a man shot dead there.  Now the police are interested.

As the story goes along we find out that the company Jean-Guy has been hired by for an undefined job, may have a secret it desparately wants to hide.  Gamache's other son who is in banking is able to find out that the very wealthy godfather has cashed in all his assets to buy some businesses affiliated with Jean-Guy's company.

It then turns out that some former police officers work as security with Jean Guy's company and that the police may be protecting the company.  Gamache's son is held ransom unless Gamache can find some important evidence that the Godfather is believed to have.  Both Gamache and hn is son come close to getting killed.

At the end all the Gamache families move back to Canada with the somewhat frail godfather who is still feisty.  Gamache and his son are reconciled after years of not communication.

It was an engaging story as always but I don't understand why the godfather had to loose all his billions... that doesn't seem logical or plausible....
