The judges black gowns, the ermine, the prosecutors red robe further added to the impression of a ceremony set in stone where the individual counted for nothing Maigret receives an anonymous phone call concerning the brutal murder of a woman and young child. The tip off concerns the womans nephew, a mildmannered man by the name of Gaston Meurant. Maigret remains unconvinced of the mans guilt and at his trial exposes some shocking truths about Meurants private life that may prove his innocence.One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . .
