“A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason.” —John Le Carré

Maigret’s past comes to life in this evocative novel, set in the Inspector’s hometown

“Maigret savoured the sensations of his youth again: the cold, stinging eyes, frozen fingertips, an aftertaste of coffee. Then, stepping inside the church, a blast of heat, soft light; the smell of candles and incense.”

The last time Maigret went home to the village of his birth was for his father’s funeral. Now, an anonymous note predicting a crime during All Souls’ Day mass draws him back there, where troubling memories resurface and hidden vices are revealed.
