- Police, Open Library Staff Picks, Fiction, Jules Maigret (Fictitious character)
This is a very special case in Maigret's experience, in which he invests his heart as much as his ingenuity. A nice old lady, meticulously groomed and showing no signs of derangement, timidly tries to see the famous detective and finally accosts him in the street.
