Maigret and the Yellow Dog (French: Le Chien jaune) is a detective novel by the Belgian writer Georges Simenon.
Overview
M. Mostaguen, the wine dealer at Concarneau, is wounded by a gunshot when returning home drunk from the local Admiral Hotel. Maigret, who is organizing the mobile squad in nearby Rennes, is called in by the mayor. He settles down at the hotel and discovers a set of curious characters who include Jean Servières, a retired newspaper man from Paris; Ernest Michoux, a doctor who has never practiced; Emma, the mysterious and complicated waitress at the hotel, and a strange yellow dog that seems to be haunting the neighborhood. Maigret delves into the intricacies of small town politics and deals with, and uses, the workings of the press, for the case is a complicated one. Eventually the customs official is shot in the leg, Servières disappears and fakes his own murder (and is found and brought back), and a mysterious giant vagrant is arrested before Maigret riddles out the sensational case.[1]
