Maigret and the Man on the Bench

Inspector Maigret #41




Maigret is drawn into the sorry tale of a man unable to escape from the dullness of daily life

Were these yellow shoes part of the reason Maigret was so interested in this man? He would never admit it, but for years he too had longed to wear olive-green shoes. They were fashionable at the time, along with those very short beige raincoats.
