Maigret at the Crossroads

About “Maigret at the Crossroads”

A classic by Georges Simenon, this story follows Inspector Maigret as he investigates the death of a Jewish diamond-merchant whose body was found at the Three Widows' Crossroads. Three men—M. Michonnet, who owned the car with the corpse; Carl Andersen, the Dane who owned the garage where the car was kept; and M. Oscar, who sold petrol at the service station—claim they know nothing about the murder. When the victim’s widow is shot dead in front of Maigret, he begins to uncover a small but complex criminal network centered around a woman. The case tests his skills as he pieces together the connections between the suspects.
