Judge's House: Inspector Maigret Book 22 The

Product Description

They saw the door of the judge's house open. A short, sprightly man appeared in the doorway, looked left and right, and went back into the passage. A moment later, the improbable happened. The little man reappeared, bent over, clinging to a long mass that he now started dragging through the mud.

Unsure why, Maigret has been transferred from Paris to the remote Atlantic coast of France. There, among the lighthouses, mussel farms and the eerie wail of foghorns, he disturbs shameful secrets that others would prefer hidden.
