Inspector Cadaver

“A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason.” —John Le Carré

A battle of wills between Inspector Maigret and an adversary from the past

When a friend’s brother-in-law is accused of murdering his daughter’s lover, Maigret sets out for a small French town to help and upon arrival is plunged into an atmosphere of animosity. He soon finds himself tangled up in a case that may ruin the very people whom he has come to aid and must face an old enemy—an ex-police officer nicknamed “Inspector Cadaver”—who seems to be doing everything in his power to obstruct Maigret’s investigations.
