A sinister note predicting a murder brings Inspector Maigret back to the town of his birth in this classic novel featuring Simenon's literary legend
The last time Maigret went home to the village of his birth was for his father's funeral. Now an anonymous note predicting a crime during All Souls' Day mass draws him back there. Before long the prediction has become a brutal reality - and the Inspector discovers he is no longer welcome, as troubling memories resurface, and hidden vices are revealed.
