Signet, Toronto, December 1964, 1st pr thus.  MMPB 128 pages.  Wraps show edge and cover wear, small corner bends, age-toning; outer page block tinted red; tape repair at fore-edge of rear wrap.  Binding sound with a bit of a roll.  Interior clean and unmarked with tanned pages.  ‘Inspector Maigret pursues the solution to a crime that began over thirty years ago in a small French town … and ended with terror, blackmail, and murder on the streets of New York.  Here is one of the most unusual and baffling of the Maigret series, another mystery classic by the writer whom Andre Gide has called “perhaps the greatest novelist” in French literature today.’ (from rear wrap)
