Filled with the heady stench and faded glamour of Paris’s dissolute clubland, Maigret at Picratt’s explores dark themes of drug addiction and illicit sex. The murder of a cabaret dancer draws the great detective into an unfamiliar milieu and Simenon responds with one of his most chilling depictions of the human psyche.
'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray
'He opened the door for her and watched her walk away down the huge corridor, then hesitate at the top of the stairs. Heads turned as she passed. You sensed she came from a different world, the world of the night, and there was something almost indecent about her in the harsh light of a winter's day'
A young cabaret dancer in a black silk dress leads Maigret into a seamy world of nightclubs, drug addiction and exploitation on the streets of Montmartre.
This novel has been published in previous translations as Maigret and the Strangled Stripper and Maigret in Montmartre.
