About the book
Maigret's past comes to life in this evocative novel, set in the Inspector's home town. The last time Maigret went home to the village of his birth was for his father's funeral. Now an anonymous note predicting a crime during All Souls' Day mass draws him back there, where troubling memories resurface and hidden vices are revealed.
