"One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories." -The Guardian

A battle of wills between Inspector Maigret and an adversary from the past

When a friend's brother-in-law is accused of murdering his daughter's lover, Maigret sets out for a small French town to help and upon arrival is plunged into an atmosphere of animosity. He soon finds himself tangled up in a case that may ruin the very people whom he has come to aid and must face an old enemy-an ex-police officer nicknamed "Inspector Cadaver"-who seems to be doing everything in his power to obstruct Maigret's investigations.
