"A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason." --John Le Carré
A gripping novel that sees Inspector Maigret brought out of his peaceful retirement "Maigret shrugged his shoulders, buried his hands in his pockets and went off without answering. He had just spent one of the most wretched days in his life. For hours, in his corner he had felt old and feeble, without idea or incentive. But now a tiny flame flickered. 'You bet we'll see, ' he growled." Maigret's peaceful retirement in the countryside is disrupted when a relative unwittingly embroils himself in a crime he did not commit and the inspector returns to Police Headquarters in Paris once again.
