"His artistry is unparalleled" John Banville. "There was no shortage of colorful characters in a neighborhood like that of Quai de Valmy. But rarely had he encountered the inertia he had seen in this woman. It was hard to explain. When most people look at you, there is some exchange, however small. A connection is created, even if that connection is a form of challenge. With her, on the contrary, there was nothing." The discovery of a dismembered body in the Canal Saint Martin leads Maigret into a complex and confusing case involving a silent bistro owner and a mysterious inheritance. "One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century... Simenon was unparalleled in making us look within ourselves, though this ability was veiled by his brilliance in obsessively drawing us into his stories" Guardian.
