During a high-profile hunt for the latest criminal gang
to hit Paris, Maigret is determined to track down the
murderer of a quiet crook whom he cannot help but respect
When the body of Honoré Cuendot, an old burglar
acquaintance of Maigret’s, is found in the Bois de Boulogne
with his face bashed in, Maigret is appalled that his
superiors consider it a mere gangland killing. And there’s a
personal element to this case as well: Maigret rather liked
Cuendot. Instead of concentrating on the flashy bank
robberies occupying the rest of his department, Maigret
decides to inquire into Cuendot’s life—and finds himself
tied up in the bank robberies, too, along the way.
A deliberate, involving murder mystery that only the likes
of our trusty Inspector could solve, Maigret and the Lazy
Burglar reveals that Maigret’s famous intuition is only
one of his skills, and that his incredible empathy is just
as important for bringing about justice.
