'The father of contemporary European detective fiction ' Ann Cleeves
In this classic novel featuring Simenon's literary legend, the death of an infamous gangster puts all of Inspector Maigret's skills to the test
Inspector Maigret finds himself back on Paris's Rue des Acacias just ten days after cracking another case there. This time it is the murder of a gangster he has known for over twenty years - and one he always suspected was behind a string of jewellery robberies in the city. Can he prove his theory? Maigret must bide his time, explore every angle and interview every neighbour until he can get to the truth.
