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.
