MAIGRET AT THE CORONER S: INSPECTOR MAIGRET 32

&ldquoOne of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories.&rdquo &mdashThe Guardian

In Arizona on a study tour of America, Inspector Maigret observes a day in the life of a local coroner and becomes absorbed in a young girl&rsquos murder

On his travels through the U.S., Maigret stops in Tucson, Arizona at the guidance of his FBI friend Harry Cole, who leaves him one day to observe a coroner&rsquos inquest. The body being examined is that of Bessie Mitchell, a young girl who died under suspicious circumstances&mdashshe spent a night drinking and driving with five young Air Force men and was found the next morning on the tracks, run over by a train. Maigret quickly becomes engrossed in the hearing and the men&rsquos conflicting stories, leaving questions of who bears the guilt for this death and who can be trusted at all.
