Published by Agra Publishing, this is the 29th book by Georges Simenon. It is the 11th novel featuring Inspector Maigret in "Agra".
"When he entered the chief's office, he was greeted with the words: — So, Maigret, your 'dead man'? It was the first time the word was heard. They must have told the head of the Judicial Police that since two in the morning the inspector had not stopped the investigation for a moment. — So they ate him! I confess that yesterday I thought you were dealing with some joker or a madman... — Not me... I believed what he told me from the first phone call... Why? He couldn't explain why. […] Where, in what abysses, in what miserable environment did their meeting take place? They were all hungry. And that was the reality, because as soon as they finished their hit, they thought only of eating, to eat all day long, to eat and drink, to sleep, to make love, to eat again, without caring about the miserable surroundings of Rue de Sicile or their tattered clothes that were like rags. They didn't kill for money. Money was for them a tool to eat and sleep soundly, in their corner, in their den, indifferent to the rest of humankind. […]"
A UNKNOWN MAN, panicked, hunted by killers, is calling from café to café to the Judicial Police asking for help from Inspector Maigret. They will not manage to save him. His body will be found thrown from a car at Place de la Concorde, in the center of Paris. The case haunts Maigret, who stays up all night with his colleagues to find the culprits. This will lead him to a gang of Czech and Polish criminals, who turn out to be serial killers in the French countryside, in the wealthy farms of Picardy. A novel filled with suspense, intensity, but also humor, with significant narrative twists and with a strong human element from Maigret. The book was adapted into a television movie produced in England in 2016, featuring an amazing lead performance by Rowan Atkinson as Inspector Maigret.
