About “Le charretier de 'La Providence'”
One rainy night, a canal worker discovers the strangled body of Mary Lampson near Lock 14. Her husband is curt and unmoved when Maigret questions him aboard his yacht, and Maigret gradually uncovers a story of whiskey-fueled orgies and nomadic canal life as he searches among bargemen, carters, and lockkeepers for the murderer.
