Maigret in New York's Underworld

While adjusting to retirement in suburban Paris, Maigret is consulted by a young man of 19, Jean Maura, the son of a wealthy French-born businessman residing in America. Based on troubling letters he has recently received from his father and odd financial transactions made through the family attorney, Jean fears that his father, who goes by the American name of John Maura, may be in danger. Maigret agrees to accompany Jean to America to investigate. When the ship arrives in New York, however, Jean Maura immediately disappears. Maigret goes to see John Maura, but is perturbed by the father’s lack of concern over his son’s unexplained disappearance. Maigret resolves to find out what has happened to young Jean. With the help of a colleague in the NYPD, he starts to investigate and turns up some suspicious stories about the father’s past.While adjusting to retirement in suburban Paris, Maigret is consulted by a young man of 19, Jean Maura, the son of a wealthy French-born businessman residing in America.
