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.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50102241362143,"sku":"9781250420152","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/yJxYp9e9Cq9781250420152.webp?v=1781079203","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/maigret-gets-angry-inspector-maigret-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
