Overview
When a striptease dancer is brutally murdered, Inspector Maigret must haunt Montmartre’s sleazy nightlife to find the killer.
At the tiny basement club Picratt’s, the striptease dancer Arlette is the star act. When she is brutally murdered, Maigret must join Arlette’s twilight world to find her killer. A frustratingly elusive villain with more victims in his sights, the killer soon assumes terrifying proportions—and yet is Maigret overestimating the man’s cunning, his talent for stealing through Montmartre like a ghost? And what is his shared history with an alleged countess, who’s been selling her jewelry for drug money? Ensnaring the detective in a cat-and-mouse game as exhilarating as it is perilous, Maigret at Picratt’s is a tense, unpredictable thriller and a glittering portrait of mid-century Paris after dark.
