The first novel which appeared in Georges Simenon's famous Maigret
series, in a gripping new translation by David Bellos. Not that he
looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn't have a moustache and he
didn't wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of
fairly light worsted. He shaved every day and looked after his
hands. But his frame was proletarian. He was a big, bony man. His
firm muscles filled out his jacket and quickly pulled all his
trousers out of shape. He had a way of imposing himself just by
standing there. His assertive presence had often irked many of his
own colleagues. In Simenon's first novel featuring Maigret, the
laconic detective is taken from grimy bars to luxury hotels as he
traces the true identity of Pietr the Latvian. This novel has been
published in previous translations as The Case of Peter the Lett
and Maigret and the Enigmatic Lett. 'Compelling, remorseless,
brilliant' John Gray 'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth
century' Guardian
