Maigret (Inspector Maigret)

By Georges Simenon

Book Overview

A gripping novel that sees Maigret brought out of his peaceful retirement.

When Maigret's police officer nephew is framed for a gangland murder, the former chief inspector must swap his countryside retirement for his old stomping ground: Paris's seamy underworld. Fueled by regular tipples and his omnipresent pipe, he goes up against a criminal enterprise whose leader, a police informant, considers himself untouchable. Can Maigret's forensic but off-the-books investigation save his nephew from prison--and uphold his own legacy as a peerless maverick for justice?
