conscientious politician.Maigret is secretly summoned by a distraught
cabinet minister who needs help in recovering a document - the Calame

the report stolen, and the disaster made reality - with 128 children
killed in the building's collapse. Now Maigret must plumb the depths of
government corruption to find the thief and the report - and let the
compromised government fall where it may.(less)
