"If you wake up in the night and hear a tap running somewhere in the house, what to you do? You get up, of course, and go and turn the tap off. A little later you hear the tap running again. You are alone in the house, and you know you turned the tap off. What do you think? The ghosts in these stories all have unfinished business with the living world. They come back from the grave to continue their work, to keep a promise, to look for something they have lost. Sometimes they want to help people, sometimes they want to punish them - or kill them."--Back cover

A Florence, la veille de Noël, Langley Smythe, un diplomate retraité d'origine anglaise, est découvert mort dans son appartement. Au terme de son enquête, l'adjudant Guarnaccia, malgré une grippe envahissante et un stagiaire encombrant, va mettre au jour une sombre affaire de trafic d'objets d'art. Ce Maigret florentin (il officie au palais Pitti où il commande les carabiniers) est d'origine sicilienne. Gastronome notoire, doté d'un tempérament réservé, il compense son flegme inattendu par une opiniâtreté tenace. En mettant en scène dans le cadre enchanteur de Florence - ses ruelles encombrées, ses petits commerçants de quartier - ce personnage, héros depuis 1981 d'une douzaine d'enquêtes, sa mère spirituelle s'est attiré les louanges, d'autant plus flatteuses que rares, de Georges Simenon soi-même !
