Bang. You’re dead.’ Gamache swung around, but had recognised the voice an instant after he’d begun to turn.‘ You’re a sneak, Jean Guy. I’m going to have to put a cow bell on you.’‘ Not again.’ It wasn’t often he could get the drop on the chief. But Beauvoir had begun to worry. Suppose he snuck up on Gamache sometime and he had a heart attack? It would certainly take the fun out of it. Louise Penny
About This Quote

In the book ''Murder at the Gallo-Rocher,'' by Louise Penny, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec is on a mission to discover who killed a local farmer. Gamache has been warned that someone might be on to him and is therefore careful not to leave any evidence behind. In the beginning Gamache doesn’t even know if he is being followed. But as it turns out, he is being followed and his life is in danger.

Gamache has to keep his guard up but also keep a low profile. He doesn’t want anyone to find out that he is looking into this murder and then have their lives put in danger. Throughout the book, we see how Gamache keeps a low profile and stays one step ahead of those following him.
