Maigret and the Old People

Inspector Maigret

'The father of contemporary European detective fiction' Ann Cleeves

The death of a beloved former ambassador unearths disturbing truths in this classic novel featuring Simenon's literary legend

Inspector Maigret is called to the home of the Comte de Saint-Hilaire, a highly respected official who has been found shot dead in the study of his elegant Parisian home. The violent death of this distinguished former ambassador - an old man without political secrets or enemies - confounds the detective. Then a mysterious bundle of old letters leads him closer towards a tragic truth.
