The Night At The Crossroads (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
The Lineup For a few seconds, about as long as it took the last echoes of the shot to die away, nothing happened. They were all waiting for another. Carl Andersen walked outside and over to a gravel path. It was one of the policemen stationed in the grounds who dashed towards the kitchen garden, in the middle of which stood a raised well topped by a pulley. He leaned over it, but quickly jerked back and blew his whistle. ‘Take him away, by force if you have to!’ Maigret shouted to Lucas, pointing to the tottering Andersen. In the thin light of dawn, now everything happened at once. Lucas signalled to one of his men. The two of them approached the wounded man, spoke with him briefly and, as he would not cooperate, tipped him over and carried him away, struggling and protesting hoarsely. Meanwhile, Maigret was approaching the well but stopped in his tracks when the policeman yelled, ‘Watch out!’ And another bullet whistled through the air as the underground report reverberated in long echoing waves.
