Maigret's Holiday (Inspector Maigret)

By Georges Simenon & Ros Schwartz
Maigret's Holiday (Inspector Maigret) by Georges Simenon & Ros Schwartz digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Maigret finds himself at a seaside resort, but this is no vacationsomething is afoot.

“For pity’s sake, ask to see the patient in room 15.” Maigret and his wife are at a seaside resort, taking a rare vacation, when Madame Maigret is hospitalized with appendicitis. One afternoon after visiting her, Maigret finds an anonymous note in his pocket. But nineteen-year-old Lili, the patient in room 15, is in a coma and soon dies.

Was Lili’s road accident foul play? Could her eccentric brother-in-law, a distinguished neurologist, have a motive? As Maigret delves deeper, he realizes Lili wasn’t alone in harboring sordid secrets—but that in this unfamiliar setting, he may be ill-equipped to avert further tragedy. A gripping tale of sexual obsession played out under the radiant August sun, Maigret’s Holiday confirms, once again, Georges Simenon’s unerring knowledge of the human heart.

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.

Ros Schwartz

Ros Schwartz has translated numerous works of fiction and nonfiction from French, including several Georges Simenon titles, a new translation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, and Mireille Gansel’s Translation as Transhumance. The recipient of a number of awards, she was made a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2009 and received the Institute of Translation and Interpreting’s John Sykes Memorial Prize for Excellence in 2017.
