''His artistry is supreme'' John Banville''What was he doing there? A hundred times, in the middle of an investigation, he''d had the same feeling of helplessness or, rather, futility. He would find himself abruptly plunged into the lives of people he had never met before, and his job was to discover their most intimate secrets. This time, as it happened, it wasn''t even his job. He was the one who had chosen to come, because a teacher had waited for him for hours in the Purgatory at the Police Judiciaire.''When a school teacher from a small coastal town near La Rochelle asks Maigret to help prove he is innocent of murder, the Inspector returns with him to his insular community and finds the residents closing ranks to conceal the truth.''Compelling, remorseless, brilliant'' John Gray

Audiokniha: Jeden z nejdramatičtějších případů komisaře Maigreta V garáži na opuštěné křižovatce padesát kilometrů za Paříží leží mrtvola, jenže podezřelý se ne a ne přiznat. Tenhle Švéd je vůbec podivín – svou sestru Elsu zamyká ve dne v noci v jejím pokoji a nepouští ji z domu… Maigret se tak ocitá v nečekaném pokušení, protože osamělá žena na něj působí záhadně a přitažlivě. Navíc je tu parta prohnaných podvodníků, tři staré vdovy se strašidelným příběhem i simulující pojišťovák. A všichni lžou.

V idylické čtvrti venkovského charakteru na předměstí Paříže je zavražděn postarší muž. Vyšetřování se ujímá Maigret, avšak jediným potenciálním svědkem je dívka jménem Felicie, jež pracovala jako služka oběti. Svérázná Normanďanka má hlavu poblázněnou brakovým čtivem a je odhodlaná neprozradit ani slovo z toho, co snad ví. Komisař je rozhodnutý dostat z děvčete výpověď, s prostořekou Felicií to ovšem nebude mít lehké. „Jan Vlasák je profesionál a dostane-li se mu správné příležitosti, umí textu dodat další rozměr; umí i v intimním prostředí nahrávacího studia vytvořit iluzi prostoru, času a postav.“ ‒ naposlech.cz Copyrights: Audiokniha (P) & © OneHotBook, 2016.

Audiokniha: „Ne, nemyslím si, že jde o šílence,“ opakoval Maigret. V dopise doručeném na nábřeží Zlatníků se píše, že v nejbližší době zřejmě dojde k vraždě. Jeho pisatel sice nesdělí žádné další podrobnosti ani o sobě, ani o případné oběti, přesto v něm však úmyslně jistou stopu zanechá. Pátrání dovede komisaře Maigreta do přepychového bytu v luxusní čtvrti, ve kterém je nynějším pánem advokát Parendon. Ne každému z jeho domácnosti jsou ale Maigretovy návštěvy po chuti a ne všichni s ním, zdá se, hovoří na rovinu. Podaří se nakonec komisaři zabránit předem avizovanému mordu? Anebo to celé byl jen nějaký žert? „Jedním slovem skvělé... Simenon je naprosto jedinečným vypravěčem – jeho psaní je doslova návykové.“ – The Observer. „Všichni jsme potenciálními postavami v románu – s tím rozdílem, že postavy v románu skutečně prožijí svůj život naplno.“ – Georges Simenon.
