'The father of contemporary European detective fiction' Ann Cleeves
Maigret shrugged his shoulders, buried his hands in his pockets and
went off without answering. He had just spent one of the most
wretched days in his life. For hours, in his corner he had felt old
and feeble, without idea or incentive. But now a tiny flame
flickered. 'You bet we'll see' he growled. Maigret's peaceful
retirement in the countryside is disrupted when a relative
unwittingly embroils himself in a crime he did not commit and the
inspector returns to Police Headquarters in Paris once again.
Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new
translations. This novel has been published in a previous
translation as Maigret Returns. 'Compelling, remorseless,
brilliant' John Gray '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 'A supreme writer . . .
unforgettable vividness' Independent
