Georges Simenon’s beloved Parisian detective returns to solve another case.
 Inspector Maigret is urgently summoned to the Quai d'Orsay where a former ambassador has been found shot dead by his long-serving housekeeper.  Rather than contacting the police, she has followed diplomatic protocols by first informing the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Forewarned that he will find a series of salacious letters – and cautioned to be discrete - Maigret heads to the victim’s opulent apartment. He finds no forensic evidence at the crime scene, but certainly, the letters prove startling – secret, decades-spanning correspondence between the ambassador and the Princess of Vuynes, whose own husband, by strange coincidence, has also just died…

"Surprising and seductive. A delightful adaptation, particularly well done. Sharp dialogue, the mystery of the human soul, and extremely concise storytelling: everything that defines the spirit of Simenon is found intact here. So let's raise a glass, as Maigret often likes to do." (Telerama)
