The Late Monsieur Gallet

Investigating the circumstances around the death of a certain Monsieur Gallet, Maigret finds that much of the man's life was a lie: the name he travelled under and even his stated profession. More worryingly, his wife's haughtiness and his son's casual indifference to the death suggest that there is more to this family than meets the eye. Indeed, the death of Monsieur Gallet may conceal another crime entirely.
