Liberty Bar

«C’era aria di vacanza. Anche il giorno prima, al tramonto, al porto di Cannes c’era aria di vacanza, soprattutto a bordo dell’Ardena, dove il proprietario faceva il galante con quelle ragazze dalle forme procaci. «Maigret, invece, era vestito di nero come a Parigi, e portava la bombetta, un cappello che lì era proprio stonato. «Di fronte a lui un manifesto annunciava a grandi lettere blu: CASINÒ DI JUAN-LES-PINS GRAN GALÀ DELLA PIOGGIA D’ORO «E il ghiaccio si scioglieva a poco a poco nel bicchiere opalescente. «Le vacanze! Guardare il fondo cangiante del mare da una barca dipinta di verde o di arancione… Fare la siesta sotto un pino marittimo ascoltando il ronzio dei mosconi… «Ma soprattutto non doversi preoccupare di uno sconosciuto che si era preso chissà come una coltellata alla schiena!».

When Senator Ransom Stoddard returns home to Shinbone for the funeral of Tom Doniphon, he recounts to a local newspaper editor the story behind it all. He had come to town many years before, a lawyer by profession. The stage was robbed on its way in by the local ruffian, Liberty Valance, and Stoddard has nothing to his name left save a few law books. He gets a job in the kitchen at the Ericson's restaurant and there meets his future wife, Hallie. The territory is vying for Statehood and Stoddard is selected as a representative over Valance, who continues terrorizing the town. When he destroys the local newspaper office and attacks the editor, Stoddard calls him out, though the conclusion is not quite as straightforward as legend would have it.

The pragmatic, reserved and refined Maigret investigates murders in his singular unhurried manner and inevitably discovers the truth.
