A series of mysterious phone calls lures Inspector Maigret into a network of dangerous criminals in this classic novel featuring Simenon's literary legend
It seems like a hoax when Inspector Maigret receives a series of strange phone calls from a terrified man claiming he is being followed - and that his life is at risk. But that night, the man is found dead in the Place de la Concorde. To catch the killer, Maigret must delve into his dead man's life - and into the murky Parisian underworld.
