Produktbeschreibung
A thought-provoking mystery unfolds in a small coastal Dutch town after a host's private party ends in murder. A French professor is staying in a coastal Dutch town while on a lecture tour-but when his host is murdered, he's held for questioning as the prime suspect. Maigret's assistance is requested, so he travels to the northeast of Holland, where he meets the attendees of a small private gathering the week before: Beetje, the coquettish daughter of a local farmer; Madame Popinga, the victim's wife; Any Van Elst, her sister and a prospective lawyer; and Cornelius, a student at the Naval College; among a few others. While some are content blaming the outsider in their midst, Maigret senses something more enigmatic at play. Why does Conrad Popinga walk Beetje home every night she visits? What does the local crook Oosting know-and why was his cap found in the Popingas' bathroom, one of the only rooms that overlooks the crime scene? In a town this small, Maigret knows its inhabitants know more than they claim.

Autorenporträt
Georges Simenon (1903-1989) was born in Liège, Belgium. An intrepid traveler with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand-and not to judge-the human condition in all its shades. His books include the Inspector Maigret series and a richly varied body of wider work united by its evocative power, its economy of means, and its penetrating psychological insight. He is among the most widely read writers in the global canon.
