The Carter of 'La Providence' Synopsis

'The father of contemporary European detective fiction' Ann Cleeves

Inspector Maigret finds himself drawn into the secrets of an isolated community in this classic novel featuring Simenon's literary legend

Inspector Maigret is standing in the pouring rain by a canal near the town of Épernay. A well-dressed woman, Mary Lampson, has been found strangled in a stable nearby. Why did her glamorous, hedonistic life come to such a brutal end here? Surely her taciturn husband Sir Walter knows - or maybe the answers lie with the crew of the barge La Providence.

Translated by David Coward
