For years, Louise searched relentlessly for her place without ever finding it. Lost in a world she did not understand, she desperately clung to the first random woman she encountered, only for that woman to betray her. Alone, she hardened within a hostile environment, where she futilely tried to learn the rules of the game. She probably knew nothing about her father. Even as a child, she should have been wondering why her mother was not like the others, why the two of them lived differently from their neighbors.
—She is beautiful, don’t you agree? It was not the word that Maigret was looking for, nor was it the one that exactly corresponded to reality. The girl was certainly beautiful, but there was something more that was difficult to define. The photographer had managed to bring life to those eyes that seemed to ask a question that remained unanswered. In two prints, she wore her black dress ・ in another, a brown checkered coat ・ and in the last, she was in evening attire. You could imagine her on the streets of Paris, where there were so many girls like her, squeezed among the crowd, stopping to gaze at the shop windows for a moment before continuing on her way to, God knows where. She once had a father, a mother, later, at school, classmates. Then, some people knew her as a young girl, women, men. She had spoken to them. They called her by her name. But now she was dead, no one seemed to remember her, no one cared, it was as if she had never existed.
INSPECTOR MAIGRET tries to reconstruct the last days and hours in the life of a girl who was found dead one night on the streets of Paris. He attempts to put himself in her shoes and imagine her thoughts and actions. He is interested in the character of the victim, seeking to know and understand the girl by questioning those who encountered her. Maigret’s interest in the victim leads him to an emotional identification with her. One of Simenon's strongest stories featuring Maigret.
