Maigrets Nacht an der Kreuzung

The body of a diamond merchant is found on Carl Andersen's property, at the 'Crossroads of the Three Widows', somewhere between Paris and Étampes. For seventeen hours, Maigret interrogates the Dane at the Quai des Orfèvres. In vain. Is the man innocent or just a very good liar? Maigret goes to the scene of the crime himself and is baffled. Why does Andersen's beautiful sister never leave her room? And why does everyone at the crossroads seem to be hiding something? Then events come crashing down ... Maigret's 7th case is set on the Route nationale from Paris to Étampes.
