Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Maigret delves into the sordid world of Montmartre nightclubs in this new translationThrough the half-open door, Dr. Pasquier could be seen putting his overcoat back on and replacing his instruments in his bag. On the white goatskin rug at the foot of the untouched bed, a body was stretched out- black satin dress, chalk white arm, auburn hair.What's most moving is always an absurd detail and, in this case, what caused Maigret's a momentary stab of anguish was, next to a foot still in its high heel, a foot out of its shoe, the toes visible through a silk stocking which was covered with flecks of mud and had a ladder starting at the heel and going up over the knee. Originally published in French as 'Maigret au Picratt's' by Presses de la Citae 1951. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: New. A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason. -John Le CarréWhen a Montmarte stripper overhears a plot to murder a countess, Inspector Maigret is on the caseArlette, a beautiful young dancer at Picratts in Montmartre, reports to her local police station that she overheard two men at her club talking about planning to kill a countess. The police dont think much of the claim-that is, until a few hours later when Arlette is found in her room, strangled to death. The police scramble to track down the men in question, but the next day the Countess von Farnheim, a drug addict living not far from Picratts, is found strangled. When Arlettes own identity turns out to have been falsified, Inspector Maigret steps in and must dive into Pariss seedy underbelly to discover the truth-before the killers can slip away.
