Publisher Description

Seventeen gripping short stories in which Simenon’s celebrated detective Maigret uncovers the darkness beneath ordinary lives.

Time and again, the people of Paris find themselves in complex, deceitful, and terrifying scenarios—and only Maigret can uncover the truth.

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.
