Maigret in Holland

"Maigret . . . ranks with Holmes and Poirot in the pantheon of fictional detective immortals."-P E O P L E Human appetites clash with small-town respectability when a teacher in a prim Dutch village is murdered. On his latest case , Maigret finds himself in the town of Delfzijl investigating the murder of a teacher. He is presented with two clues-a sailor's cap in the bathtub and a Manila cigar butt-and a gaggle of suspects, including a flirtatious farmer's daughter, an angry lawyer, a larcenous ship owner, an unaccountably frightened cadet, and a pompous criminologist with a revolver. The Inspector, in turn, is preoccupied with a suspicious pathway lit by a lighthouse beam, which leads him to wonder if this is the kind of spot where secret lovers might be discovered.
