When Inspector Maigret arrives, at the behest of his old school friend, he finds the \u003ci\u003eOcéan\u003c\/i\u003e's crew will say nary a word about what transpired; instead, they speak only of the evil eye, a curse on the vessel they believe began even before they sailed. Pierre Le Clinche, a young wireless operator on board the ship who had markedly strained relations with the captain, is arrested for foul play. And more complications: in the captain's possession, a photograph of a faceless buxom woman, scribbled all over in red ink; the captain's handwritten will, deposited at the police station letterbox well after his death; the acrimony and fear that permeate the entire affair. In \u003ci\u003eThe Grand Banks Café\u003c\/i\u003e, a haunting, riveting tale from Georges Simenon, Maigret vows to find the answer to the mystery that has left every sailor silent.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50102836101343,"sku":"9781250391087","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/0xLxQdpcvI9781250391087.webp?v=1781087447","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/the-grand-banks-cafe-inspector-maigret-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
