'It was 4 August. The windows were wide open but brought no relief, since they allowed in even more warm air, which seemed to be rising from the melting tarmac, the burning hot stonework, and even the Seine itself: one could imagine the river steaming like a pan of water on a stove.' This Maigret novel is presented in a new translation.* This is a FINE copy of the 1st./1st. with no visible faults.* Reynolds, Sian
