'The father of contemporary European detective fiction' Ann Cleeves
A man picked up for wandering in obvious distress among the cars
and buses on the Grands Boulevards. Questioned in French, he
remains mute . . . A madman? In Maigret's office, he is searched.
His suit is new, his underwear is new, his shoes are new. All
identifying labels have been removed. No identification papers. No
wallet. Five crisp thousand-franc bills have been slipped into one
of his pockets. A distressed man is found wandering the streets of
Paris, with no memory of who he is or how he got there. The answers
lead Maigret to a small harbour town, whose quiet citizens conceal
a poisonous malice. Penguin is publishing the entire series of
Maigret novels in new translations. This novel has been published
in a previous translation as Death of a Harbour Master.
