Inspector Maigret is baffled by the facts of the case: an expensively dressed woman, Mary Lampson, has been strangled in a nearby stable, with no road nearby wide enough for automobile traffic. Only by chance was her body found, without a noise, witness, or trace of mud to aid in explaining the scene. How did this glamorous, pearl-laden woman meet her end? It seems that those on board the barge \u003ci\u003eLa Providence\u003c\/i\u003e--Mary's proud husband, Sir Walter; a friend named Willy Marco; and a Chilean parliament member's widow--might hold the key to the puzzle. In \u003ci\u003eThe Carter of La Providence\u003c\/i\u003e, once again, Georges Simenon orchestrates a harrowing plot of secrets and dramas that disturb, and reveal the underbelly of, the everyday.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Georges Simenon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250391008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250391001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Georges Simenon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685831004415,"sku":"9781250391001","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b9c4fe1-a5c2-42a4-a135-e9bfc77e89f2.jpg?v=1741726901","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-carter-of-la-providence-georges-simenon-9781250391001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
