Book "My Friend Megrin" Georges Simenon

"My Friend Maigret" allows the reader to follow Maigret's train of thought, make assumptions based on his own logic, and test them with the master. This book differs from other works of the genre because it is not the crime itself that is in the foreground, but the statement that generates contradictory conclusions and leads to a deviation... Or perhaps leads in the right direction... Inspector Pike from Scotland Yard comes to Maigret to study the working methods of the French police commissioner. But at this moment in Paris there is nothing interesting, and Maigret reacts to a murder on one of the Mediterranean islands, connected with fraud. Paintings of a young Dutch artist are passed off as works by Van Gogh. Maigret and Pike put forward their versions. Who will be right?
