Description
A small-time crook has been murdered on a Mediterranean island. A nasty piece of work – a drunken thug, pimp and thief. Yet just before he died he was heard boasting in a crowded bar about his policeman ‘friend’ Maigret. Inspector Maigret decides to take a little island holiday to find out what’s going on. But nobody there seems to have a motive for killing Pacaud – not the old English lady and her male ‘secretary’ nor the ageing prostitute and the Duch anarchist.
But all of them have secrets they’d prefer to keep hidden…
