Okamžitě se proto vypraví do pobřežní vísky Aiguil, obývané převážně rybáři a pěstiteli slávek, aby v překvapivě honosném prostředí vily rodiny Forlacroixových zahájil vyšetřování mající za cíl odhalit totožnost vraha i jeho oběti. Podaří se mu proniknout do uzavřené komunity, odhalit její dávno pohřbená tajemství a rozkrýt podivné vztahy mezi starým soudcem, jeho horkokrevným synem Albertem a nymfomanií trpící dcerou Lízou?

Audiokniha: „Ženy a děti mají schopnost vytvářet pololži.“ (Maigret) Nebyla to jen chuť na ústřice a bílé krajové víno, které přiměly komisaře vydat se po boku vystrašeného učitele do Saint-André, malé vesničky na západním pobřeží Francie. Byla tu také podobnost toho místa s tím, které Maigret tak dobře znal… A samozřejmě vražda Leonie Birardové, z níž byl podezřelý právě zde přítomný Joseph Gastin. Ale může skutečně za smrt podivínské stařeny, nebo z něj místní obyvatelé jen udělali obětního beránka? „S klidem, rozvahou a kořalkou se komisař dobere nečekaných rozuzlení a já jsem s jeho výkonem plně spokojen.“ – databazeknih.cz. „Hlas Jana Vlasáka už mám neoddělitelně spjatý s postavou Maigreta a snad bych v jiném podání příběh ani nestrávila.

Když z kovové skříňky číslo 89 v zaměstnaneckých útrobách nóbl hotelu vypadne uškrcená Američanka v černé róbě, je pověst podniku poblíž Champs-Élysées v ohrožení. Pisálkové už se k místu činu slétají jako supi, a tak musí narychlo povolaný Maigret především určit, co dámu ubytovanou zde i se synkem, jeho guvernantkou a učitelkou přimělo sejít až do sklepení. A proč je zámožný choť oběti, jenž prý tou dobou jednal obchodně v Římě, tak odtažitý – nemá on nějaké pletky? Proč v šatnách nocovali tři pracovníci, ačkoli to předpisy i v 30. letech zakazují? Kéž by ráno nepraskla duše na bicyklu vedoucího kavárenské přípravny Prospera Donge, jenž tím pádem přijel na směnu pozdě a s vrahem se u své skříňky minul jen o minutku. Nebo je to krycí historka?
