A Man's Head (Inspector Maigret)

In Georges Simenon's A Man's Head, Inspector Maigret grapples with the possibility that a man he previously convicted, Joseph Heurtin, might be innocent of a double murder. As Heurtin escapes from a high-security prison, Maigret orchestrates a bold strategy to monitor him, torn between his past conviction and the urgent need to uncover the truth. With his career on the line and time running out before an impending execution, Maigret must navigate a world of criminal intrigue to prove Heurtin's innocence.
