Inspector Jules Maigret differs from his English counterparts of the 1930s and 40s in that he is a respectable, bourgeois member of the police force - archetypally "French". In this reissued collection of dramatized short stories, adapted for BBC Radio 4, Maigret and Simenon look back over four of their greatest cases.

Maigret and the Minister
Maigret and the Hundred Gibbets
Maigret and Monsieur Charles
Maigret and the Madman of Bergerac

Where is the vital report that holds the key to the fate of the French government? What is the secret behind the mysterious suicide in Bremen? Who is responsible for the sudden disappearance of one of Paris' best known solicitors? And will the demented double murderer strike again?
