The city of Simenon's youth comes to life in this new translation
of this disturbing novel set in Liege, book ten in the new Penguin
Maigret series. In the darkness, the main room is as vast as a
cathedral. A great empty space. Some warmth is still seeps from the
radiators. Delfosse strikes a match. They stop a moment to catch
their breath, and work out how far they have still to go. And
suddenly the match falls to the ground, as Delfosse gives a sharp
cry and rushes back towards the washroom door. In the dark, he
loses his way, returns and bumps into Chabot. Maigret observes from
a distance as two boys are accused of killing a rich foreigner in
Liege. Their loyalty, which binds them together through their
adventures, is put to the test, and seemingly irrelevant social
differences threaten their friendship and their freedom. Penguin is
publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations.
This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret
at the "Gai-Moulin". 'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray
'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century' Guardian 'A
supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness' Independent
