Inspector Maigret- Maigret, Lognon, and the Gangsters (Inspector Maigret)

An unidentified body, ruthless gangsters on the rampage, and Maigret's authority sabotaged-in this breakneck thriller, the inspector would rather risk his life than lose face. When a group of American gangsters carry out a brazen hit on Parisian soil, Maigret finds himself in dangerous territory. He's accustomed to the ways of homegrown criminals. But these US mobsters, who act with staggering impunity, use tactics he cannot predict. To make matters worse, his prime witness is Lognon, a cop so unlucky he's said to be cursed. Can Maigret deliver the justice that, he's told, keeps eluding the FBI? The skepticism he encounters, and the ominous warnings to stay in his lane, only steel his determination to vindicate the Police Judiciaire. A heart-stopping crime thriller from a master of the art, Maigret, Lognon, and the Gangsters takes Georges Simenon's hardened detective far out of his-and our-comfort zone.
