‘The father of contemporary European detective fiction . . . I loved the exotic setting of Parisian bars and run-down hotels, the economic storytelling’ Ann Cleeves


A new selection of novels featuring Simenon’s literary legend, Inspector Maigret

Xavier Manto, a mild-mannered toy salesman from a Paris department store, has come to confide his secret fears to Inspector Maigret: he suspects his wife is plotting to poison him. Then when Maigret receives a visit from Madame Manton on the same day, he is not sure who to trust. Soon he becomes caught up in a treacherous feud between husband and wife, where nothing is as clear cut as it seems.


Translated by Shaun Whiteside

 

 

About the Author

Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium in 1903. An intrepid traveller with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand, rather than to judge, the human condition in all its shades. His novels 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. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life.
