Summary

"Detective Chief Inspector Maigret is known for his infallible instinct, for getting at the truth no matter how complex the case, but when someone starts killing women on the streets of Montmartre, he finds himself confounded. Under increasing pressure, Maigret brings together officers from across the city in a trap that finally catches the murderer out...'High up in Montmartre, there was a festive atmosphere, people were crowding round the little tables where rose wine was being served ...Yet a hundred metres further on, the little alleyways were deserted, and the killer might find it easy to pounce'"--Publisher
