'His artistry is supreme' John Banville 'He had seldom been so
perplexed by human beings. Would a psychiatrist, a teacher or a
novelist...have been better placed to understand characters who had
suddenly materialized from another century?' Maigret is called to
the home of Armand de Saint-Hilaire, a highly respected official
who has been found shot dead in his study by his housekeeper. After
interviewing everyone concerned Maigret is at a loss to the
identity of the perpetrator until he comes across a series of
letters from the past fifty years between the victim and a recently
widowed woman. As Maigret uncovers the details behind the two's
relationship he gets closer to discovering the tragic truth behind
the official's demise. This novel has been published in a previous
translation as Maigret in Society. 'One of the greatest writers of
the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled at making us
look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at
absorbing us obsessively in his stories' Guardian
