One afternoon after visiting her, Maigret finds an anonymous note in his pocket. But nineteen-year-old Lili, the patient in room 15, is in a coma and soon dies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWas Lili's road accident foul play? Could her eccentric brother-in-law, a distinguished neurologist, have a motive?

An intrepid traveler with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand--and not to judge--the human condition in all its shades. His books include the Inspector Maigret series and a richly varied body of wider work united by its evocative power, its economy of means, and its penetrating psychological insight.
