The victim turns out to be the town?s most successful wine dealer, and the event soon leads to a series of other curiosities: poisoned drinks at the bar, another man found missing, and a dirty yellow dog haunting the neighborhood, accompanied by large, unfamiliar boot tracks.

Though a chill sets over town, with townspeople remaining tight-lipped, Maigret?s pursuit of the truth in Georges Simenon?s The Yellow Dog makes for a thrilling, breathless adventure.
