"A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason." --John Le Carré

When an innocent young man is accused of murder, Maigret is forced to question the blind justice of the law

In this thrilling courtroom drama, inspector Maigret comes to the defense of Gaston Meurant, a quiet Parisian picture framer accused of slitting his aunt's throat for money and smothering a small child. Maigret can't reconcile the violent portrait the court is painting with the man his investigations have revealed. But in order to save an innocent life from the gallows, Maigret must expose some dark secrets about Meurant, secrets that may expose him to a whole other kind of danger.

With a high-stakes courtroom setting that brings out a side of Maigret's brilliant mind rarely before seen, Maigret in Court is a painful story of an oppressive domestic tragedy and the compassionate insight of a remarkable detective.
