description: Peg Leg Lapie a crusty old sailor is found mysteriously murdered in a most incongruous setting: a picturesque cottage near Paris where he lived attended only by his young housekeeper Felicie. But Lapie was not alone Maigret chief inspector of the Paris police is sure of it. A man at work in his garden wearing clogs and a straw hat does not suddenly drop his tools to go indoors and fetch a bottle of brandy to drink alone in the summerhouse. There must have been another glass that someone removed. But Flicie in her red hat trimmed with an iridescent feather proves a champion adversary as skilled in innuendo and evasion as Maigret is in deduction.
