Maigret Sets a Trap (Inspector Maigret)

By Georges Simenon & Siân Reynolds
Maigret Sets a Trap (Inspector Maigret) by Georges Simenon & Siân Reynolds digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

With no leads to follow, Maigret must entrap a serial killer on the loose in Paris.

A serial killer stalks the sweltering streets of summertime Montmartre, murdering women and disappearing without a trace into the district’s maze of side streets and back alleys. With no leads and only a vague psychological profile, Maigret makes a risky bet to draw the killer into a trap. The case doesn’t get any simpler once he has a suspect, however, as Maigret himself becomes entangled in a web of domestic intrigue and insecurity, one that just might reveal why the killer kills. Georges Simenon’s Maigret Sets a Trap is a thrilling, fast-paced race to crack the case and a disturbing window into the twisted psyche of a murderer, one whose motives will haunt the inspector long after the particulars have been unraveled.

About Georges Simenon

Georges Simenon (1903–1989) was born in Liège, Belgium. An intrepid traveler with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand—and not to judge—the human condition in all its shades. His books include the Inspector Maigret series and a richly varied body of wider work united by its evocative power, its economy of means, and its penetrating psychological insight. He is among the most widely read writers in the global canon.
