Inspector Maigret: The Saint-Fiacre Affair

More about the book

When an ominous note predicting the time and place of a death finds its way to Maigret's desk in Paris, his investigation brings him to Saint-Fiacre, the place of his birth. It isn't long before a darkness descends on Maigret and the town, as the prediction becomes a brutal reality and the Inspector discovers he is not welcome in the place he once called home. As much a thriller as a meditation on alienation, <i>The Saint-Fiacre Affair </i>displays Simenon's unique and searing perspective of the struggles we all are forced to endure.
