# The Two-Penny Bar

**“A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason.” —John Le Carré  
**  
**A forgotten crime comes to light in the heart of Parisian summer in this twisted Inspector Maigret tale**  
  
_“A radiant late afternoon. The sunshine almost as thick as syrup in the quiet streets of the Left Bank . . . there are days like this, when ordinary life seems heightened, when the people walking down the street, the trams and cars all seem to exist in a fairy tale.”_  
  
A story told by a condemned man leads Maigret to a bar by the Seine and into the sleazy underside of respectable Parisian life. In the oppressive heat of summer, a forgotten crime comes to light.
