There was nothing humble about her bearing. She spoke frankly, looking straight ahead, as if to claim what was rightfully hers. `If you don`t agree to look at our case, my parents and I will be lost, and it will be the most hateful legal error…` Maigret is asked to the windswept, rainy border town of Givet by a young woman desperate to clear her family of murder. But their well-kept shop, the sleepy community and its raging river all hide their own mysteries. Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels. “Compelling, remorseless, brilliant”.
