In a great courtroom drama, Maigret has to explain why he does not belive that Gaston Meurant was capable of slitting his aunt's throat for money and smothering a small child. But in saving him from the gallows, Maigret must expose some dark secretsabout Meurant's life. A painful story of an oppressive domestic tragedy and the compassionate insight of a remarkable detective. 'A truly wonderful writer ... marvellously readable - lucid, simple, absolutely in tune with that world he creates ofrun-down hotels, cold, dark barges, quayside canal-taverns, lurking prostitutes, pot-bellied burghers, taciturn youths, slippery barmen' - Muriel Spark, Sunday Times

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Penguin Red Classic Edition. Paperback. Maigret in Court. Translated by Robert Brain. A woman and her child have been brutally murdered in their flat: the woman's throat slit, and the child smothered by silk cushions. Standing accused is the victim's nephew, a quiet picture-framer from the outskirrs of Paris. The violence of the crime stands in stark contrast to his gentle nature, but Meurant was glimpsed fleeing from the scene, and a suit is found bearing traces of human blood. Yet Maigret can't reconcile the violent portrait the court is painting with the man his invesgitations have revealed. Is Meurant guilty of this shocking crime, or, as Maigret fears, are the wheels of justice about to destroy an innocent man? 126 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic and Scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Educational Reference Literature.). N° de réf. du vendeur 103055
