Inspector Maigret is baffled by the facts of the case: an expensively dressed woman, Mary Lampson, has been strangled in a nearby stable, with no road nearby wide enough for automobile traffic. Only by chance was her body found, without a noise, witness, or trace of mud to aid in explaining the scene. How did this glamorous, pearl-laden woman meet her end? It seems that those on board the barge \u003ci\u003eLa Providence\u003c\/i\u003e—Mary’s proud husband, Sir Walter; a friend named Willy Marco; and a Chilean parliament member’s widow—might hold the key to the puzzle. In \u003ci\u003eThe Carter of La Providence\u003c\/i\u003e, once again, Georges Simenon orchestrates a harrowing plot of secrets and dramas that disturb, and reveal the underbelly of, the everyday.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42403823026237,"sku":"9781250391001","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781250391001_p0.jpg?v=1771597884","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781250391001","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
