Maigret and the River Murder: The Case of the Missing 150,000 Francs

A place can carry a great many compromises... until they arrive all at once. When a confidential clerk vanishes from a Paris notary office along with 150,000 francs in bearer bonds, Inspector Maigret is led to the rainy banks of the Marne. But the discovery of a body in a riverside restaurant’s fish well is only the beginning of a much darker tale. In the Pavillon des Saules, the scent of slow-cooked pike masks two decades of lies, an invalid marriage, and a family at the brink of ruin. Maigret must navigate through a web of jealous husbands, silent sisters, and a "perfect" manager who believes that murder is just another way to settle a debt. Watch as the legendary Inspector Maigret deconstructs an "administrative" killing where every clue—from a clipped bond coupon to a blunt fish-priest—exposes the price of keeping a house of cards from collapsing.
