Présentation de l'éditeur

The dismembered body of a man is found in a canal, and only Maigret can uncover the killer. The forty-seventh book in the new Penguin Maigret series.

When a man’s headless body is discovered in Paris’s Saint-Martin Canal, Maigret is quick to answer the call. It is in this very neighborhood that he meets a strangely taciturn woman who runs a cafe. Her husband is away on a trip—or so she says. As is often the case, Maigret soon learns that there is more to the story than meets the eye.
