When a professional gambler is shot dead all except Maigret suspect his mistress is to blame.
'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray
Maigret is called to the home of professional gambler, Felix Nahour, who has been found shot dead by his chambermaid. Maigret is shocked to recognise a photo of the man's wife who becomes the main suspect. All signs point to her guilt but Maigret suspects there might be more to this complicated affair.
This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret on the Defensive.
