The Madman of Bergerac

Maigret is shot chasing a man who mysteriously jumped off a moving train in front of him. Recovering in the nearby town of Bergerac, Maigret discovers that a deranged killer who pierces his victim’s hearts with a needle is on the loose. Maigret conducts an investigation from his sick bed with Madame Maigret making his enquires for him, but they meet a wall of suspicion and silence, somebody has something to hide.

Extract:

“You see, I don’t think it’s over. And I don’t want... I don’t want that fine young girl to pass under my window next time in a hearse, followed by a lot of people in black… Yes, there’s a madman about. A man who laughs and talks, who comes and goes…”

Maigret’s eyes were half-closed now. In a coaxing voice he murmured:

“Give me a pipe all the same.”


Review:

“A writer with deep psychological insight, a quick imagination, wide experience and a brilliant economical style.”
