Paris cannot stop talking about Morlano, the brilliant illusionist whose new show has sold out the Théâtre Beaumont.
Then, hours before another packed performance, Morlano is found dead inside a rehearsal room.
Beside him lies a theatrical pistol. He had been secretly preparing a dangerous new illusion involving a bullet — and the one man who understood his machinery better than anyone, assistant Émile Darras, appears to have an almost perfect alibi.
Morlano himself sent Darras across Paris shortly before the murder.
Witnesses saw him arrive. He argued with craftsmen. He signed a receipt. The timing seems impossible to challenge.
Yet Maigret has spent enough time around magicians to learn one uncomfortable rule: seeing something happen is not the same as understanding what happened.
And sometimes the strongest part of an illusion is the one fact everyone can prove is true.

This is a completely original Detective Tales mystery, written by the creators of the channel and inspired by the work of Georges Simenon.
