The Two-Penny Bar (Inspector Maigret)

In the heart of the Parisian summer, a forgotten crime comes to light in this Inspector Maigret tale from Georges Simenon.

On the eve of his death, a condemned man remembers a crime he witnessed years before. With only the name of a bar to direct him, Maigret joins a party of summering revelers who have something to do with the unsolved disappearance—but what, exactly? Descending into the sleazy underside of respectable Parisian life, Maigret investigates and the forgotten crime comes to light.
