Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A well-to-do Paris surgeon and his down-at-heel neighbour become the focus of Maigret's investigation.

Maigret had questioned thousands, tens of thousands of people in the course of his career, some occupying important positions, others who were more famous for their wealth, and others still who were considered the most intelligent of international criminals.

Yet he attached an importance to this interrogation he had attached to no previous interrogation, and it wasn't Gouin's social position that overawed him, or his worldwide fame.

Maigret's Mistake presents a fascinating puzzle for the genius detective, exploring themes of status, reputation, and the art of interrogation, all wrapped up in the atmospheric setting of Paris.
