Georges Simenon: Maigret and the Tall Woman (Inspector Maigret), Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In the lull of late summer, Maigret is told of a woman's murder-but with no corpse, no missing person, and a dubious source for the tip-off, is there even a case to solve?
During Maigret's memorable first encounter with "La Grande Perche"-the beanpole-she'd stripped naked as he tried to arrest her. Many years later, at the tail end of a muggy summer, she brings him a tip-off about a dead body. Though initially skeptical, the inspector tracks down an intriguing suspect, a suburban dentist whose rich wife may be missing. The man is hostile and uncooperative, but is he guilty of murder? Or is La Grande Perche trying to humiliate Maigret once again? A propulsive mystery charged with Georges Simenon's uncanny psychological insight, Maigret and the Tall Woman is equally a disquieting parable on taking nothing at face value.
