Paperback. Inevitably Maigret was a hostile presence in the Majestic. He constituted a kind of foreign body that the hotel's atmosphere could not assimilate. Not that he looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn't have a moustache and he didn't wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of fairly light worsted. Translator(s): Bellos, David. Series: Inspector Maigret. Num Pages: 176 pages. BIC Classification: FFC; FYT. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 127 x 202 x 10. Weight in Grams: 140.
