The book was published at the end of 1950, and was later translated into English by Daphne Woodward as Maigret in Montmartre (alternatively Maigret and the Strangled Stripper). The plot of the novel revolves around the murder of a stripper called Arlette, and the novel is noted for its depiction of the seedy nightlife of the Montmartre district in Paris.[1]

The novel has been adapted several times for TV and film.
