The Shadow Puppet (Inspector Maigret) (Paperback)

Paperback. In a dimly lit apartment building, where shadowy figures come and go, a man has been killed in Georges Simenon's The Shadow Puppet. On the dimly lit Place des Vosges, Maigret hears the sound of a woman in distress. But this is no crime; she is giving birth in a room above. The lights of the apartments across the courtyard flicker, and Maigret sees shadowy figures at the windows. Behind one is a dead man and an empty safe. As one life begins, another has come to a dark end. In this installment of the Maigret series, the Parisian detective uncovers a tragic story of desperate lives, unhappy families, addiction, and a terrible, fatal greed. "In a dimly lit apartment building, where shadowy figures come and go, a man has been killed in Georges Simenon's The Shadow Puppet"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
