The death of a homeless man in a condemned building in Les Halles leads Maigret on the trail of the vagrants mysterious past, and an event that happened years ago in the closeknit community of Montmartre.His artistry is supreme John BanvilleOne of the greatest writers of the twentieth century Guardian
