Maigret's First Case

byGeorges Simenon, Ros Schwartz (Translator)

Inspector Maigret #30

The profession he had always yearned for did not actually exist . . . he imagined a very clever, above all very understanding man, a cross between a doctor and a priest, a man capable of understanding another's destiny at first glance.

Maigret's first, and unofficial, investigation takes him into the hears of a bourgeois Paris household and a police cover-up.
