A Twenty Year Mystery is Solved.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
The setting is Paris in the early 1960's. The venerable Inspector Maigret is nearing retirement age and growing increasingly stout. Paris is hit once again by a series of jewell heists. Maigret has known for twenty years that the Corsican crime boss Manuel Palmari has been behind the crimes. Over the years, Maigret has developed respect and even professional admiration for Palmari. During the middle of the latest crime spree, the wheelchair bound Palmari is found murdered in his apartment. This is Maigret's opportunity to unravel a mystery that has been bothering him for 20 years. This story has all the classic elements that Jules Maigret fans love.
