"One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories." -- The Guardian When a well-liked nightclub owner turns up dead in a cemetery, Inspector Maigret must track down the killer--despite a lack of suspects. During a quiet spell in June, Maigret is called to investigate the disappearance of a reputable businessman, a nightclub owner with properties in Montmarte and on the Champs- lys es. Things take a dark turn when the man's body is discovered near the famous P re Lachaise cemetery. There's no trace of the man having any enemies, and Maigret struggles to find any clues to the perpetrator--and loses his temper when his own reputation is threatened by the case. Under the heat of the Paris summer sun, in Maigret's Anger , the inspector must find the connections he'll need to catch a killer and preserve his good name.
