Publisher's summary

What was it about him that had struck Maigret so forcefully? Little John had cold eyes! Four or five times in his life, he had met people with cold eyes, those eyes that can stare at you without establishing any human contact.

Persuaded to sail to New York by a fearful young law student, Maigret finds himself drawn into the city's underworld and a wealthy businessman's closely guarded past.

Critic reviews

""Compelling, remorseless, brilliant." (John Gray)
"One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century...Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories." ( Guardian)
"A supreme writer...unforgettable vividness." ( Independent)

Not the best Maigret

Convoluted plot, both Simenon and Maigret seems to be out of their depth in New York.

Not one of the best

Too narrow a description of post-war New York. The plot convoluted, you don’t get to fully related to the subjects in the story.

Human nature

Maigret and Ms. Marple understood human nature is the same no matter if in America or France it is the same.
