Maigret's Holiday (Inspector Maigret)

Omtale

Maigret finds himself at a seaside resort, but this is no vacation-something is afoot."For pity's sake, ask to see the patient in room 15." Maigret and his wife are at a seaside resort, taking a rare vacation, when Madame Maigret is hospitalized with appendicitis. One afternoon after visiting her, Maigret finds an anonymous note in his pocket. But nineteen-year-old Lili, the patient in room 15, is in a coma and soon dies.Was Lili's road accident foul play? Could her eccentric brother-in-law, a distinguished neurologist, have a motive? As Maigret delves deeper, he realizes Lili wasn't alone in harboring sordid secrets-but that in this unfamiliar setting, he may be ill-equipped to avert further tragedy. A gripping tale of sexual obsession played out under the radiant August sun, Maigret's Holiday confirms, once again, Georges Simenon's unerring knowledge of the human heart.
