Maigret and the Night Club Dancer

Arlette, a beautiful but alcoholic stripper in a sleazy club, comes forward to police to report overhearing a murder plot at the club targeting a countess. Shortly thereafter her testimony becomes inconsistent, and she recants it. Shortly thereafter she is found murdered as well as the countess whose death she predicted. When Maigret investigates her colorful private life he discovers the club owner as well as one of his valued assistants, Inspector Albert LaPointe, among her most ardent admirers.
