Synopsis

A panicked man turns to Maigret for help--and dies before the detective can learn his identity. Who was he, and what led to his brutal murder?

One morning, Maigret receives several phone calls from an increasingly panicked man. He's being followed, he says, and his pursuers want to kill him. Before Maigret can track down the caller, his lifeless body is thrown from a car. Yet his identity remains a mystery. Who was he, and what led to his brutal murder?

As Maigret sorts through the bewildering evidence, he develops a surprising affinity for this anonymous victim, whose personality seems to resemble his own. His legendary intuition heightened, the inspector is poised to crack a case with, it turns out, far greater repercussions than one man's death. Fiendishly plotted and humming with psychological tension, Maigret's Dead Man is an unmissable installment in George Simenon's famous detective series.

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.

David Coward is professor emeritus of French at the University of Leeds and a translator of many books from the French, including Albert Cohen's Belle du Seigneur, for which he was awarded a Scott Moncrieff Prize.
