What they have in common is crisp, economical prose, unexpected emotional depth and a strange sense of modernity.\" --Andrew Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNearly two years into his police retirement, Maigret has turned down all offers of private detective work--until, during a broiling hot August, the teenage daughter of a wealthy family is found drowned in the Seine. According to her grandmother, the imperious Bernadette Amorelle, it was neither an accident nor a suicide. The former inspector must, she insists, abandon his garden and accompany her to the affluent hamlet of Orsenne. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaigret is ill at ease in the cloistered milieu of manicured lawns, yachts, and swimming pools. Seeing the strained dynamic among the dead girl's relatives, his disquiet grows. Why is a sixteen-year-old boy, her cousin, kept locked up? And why does Bernadette loathe her son-in-law, a board director of all the family companies, with such passion? In this gothic-tinged Machiavellian tragedy, Maigret is unflinching in his quest for answers--even if they blacken his view of humanity more than he'd thought possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250420152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Georges Simenon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52161308262581,"sku":"9781250420152","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c65c50cf-6beb-445f-8264-6d7a727c1f04.jpg?v=1768317773","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/maigret-gets-angry-inspector-maigret-9781250420152","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
