Synopsis
"A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason." --John Le Carré In this gripping novel set in an insular fishing community, Inspector Maigret must navigate an impenetrable subculture to solve a murder "It was indeed a photograph, a picture of a woman. But the face was completely hidden, scribbled all over in red ink. Someone had tried to obliterate the head, someone very angry. The pen had bitten into the paper. There were so many criss-crossed lines that not a single square millimetre had been left visible. On the other hand, below the head, the torso had not been touched. A pair of large breasts. A light-coloured silk dress, very tight and very low cut." Sailors don't talk much to other men, especially not to policemen. But after Captain Fallut's body is found floating near his trawler, they all mention the Evil Eye when they speak of the Ocean's voyage. "One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . .
