Synopsis

A gripping novel that sees Maigret brought out of his peaceful retirement.

When Maigret's police officer nephew is framed for a gangland murder, the former chief inspector must swap his countryside retirement for his old stomping ground: Paris's seamy underworld. Fueled by regular tipples and his omnipresent pipe, he goes up against a criminal enterprise whose leader, a police informant, considers himself untouchable. Can Maigret's forensic but off-the-books investigation save his nephew from prison--and uphold his own legacy as a peerless maverick for justice?

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

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 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.
