'His artistry is supreme' John Banville Conflict rather than
harmony probably reigned in eight out of ten of the still
magnificent houses that surrounded the park. But he had rarely had
the opportunity to breath such a strained atmosphere as the one
between these walls. Everything seemed fake, grating, starting with
the lodge of the concierge-cum-manservant, who was neither a
concierge nor a manservant, despite his striped waistcoat, but a
former poacher, a murderer turned guard dog. When a self-made man
appeals to Maigret for protection at his lavish home, a years-old
grudge from the past resurfaces and the inspector finds himself
questioning his own motives. '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
