Maigret has no taste for politics, or politicians, but when he is summoned to a clandestine meeting by a desperate government minister one evening, he finds himself drawn into an unsavoury world of corruption, scandal and cover ups.
'Once alone in his office, he went over and opened the window as if being in charge of this case made him gasp for a breath of fresh air... It made him feel almost fond of the petty thieves, maniacs, swindlers and offenders of all kinds that he usually had to deal with.'
Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A gripping novel about the corrupt and avaricious world of politics, newly translated as part of the Maigret series.Was Maigret wrong? From one point of view, certainly, because he had nothing to gain but everything to lose in confronting as powerful and wily a man as Mascoulin.The latter, on his feet, was proffering his hand. In a flash, Maigret remembered Point and his 'dirty hands' stance.He didn't stop to weigh up the pros and the cons but grabbed his coffee cup, which was empty, and raised it to his lips, ignoring the outstretched hand.The politician's eyes clouded. The quivering at the corner of his mouth intensified.Inspector Maigret is drawn into the unsavoury world of politics and cover-up scandals when he is called to the home of the Minister of Public Works on unofficial business. Originally published in French as: Maigret chez le ministre. Presses de la Cite, 1955. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
