Paperback. Inevitably Maigret was a hostile presence in the Majestic. He constituted a kind of foreign body that the hotel's atmosphere could not assimilate.

Series: Inspector Maigret. Num Pages: 176 pages. BIC Classification: FFC; FYT. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 127 x 202 x 10. Weight in Grams: 140.

Paperback. Instead of the detail filling itself in and becoming clearer, it seemed to escape him. The face of the man in the ill-fitting coat misted up so that it hardly looked human. The circumstances of Monsieur Gallet's death all seem fake: the name the deceased was travelling under and his presumed profession, and more worryingly, his family's grief.
