Inspector Cadaver
Maigret arrives in the small fenland town of Saint-Aubin-les-Marais after a friend asks him to help a man accused of murder. Maigret realizes that the townspeople are hostile to enquiries and worse; a corrupt, ex-colleague is also in town, working against him. The more Maigret uncovers, the more he risks harming the people he came to help.
Extract:
... “I have only a few words to say to you... I am pregnant by Albert Retailleau... if my father finds out I’ll kill myself and no one will stop me...”
He could not bring himself to look at her while he was lying in bed. She paused for a moment, as if expecting Maigret to react to her pronouncement, then rose to her feet, listened at the door and said as she left the room:
“Do as you wish. I am in your hands.”
Reviews:
“A great novelist. The sheer range of his understanding of the human heart… is unparalleled in twentieth-century fiction.”
-Paul Bailey
