'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray A first ink drawing
showed a hanged man swinging from a gallows on which perched an
enormous crow. And there were at least twenty other etchings and
pen or pencil sketches that had the same leitmotif of hanging. On
the edge of a forest: a man hanging from every branch. A church
steeple: beneath the weathercock, a human body dangling from each
arm of the cross. . . Below another sketch were written four lines
from Francois Villon's Ballade of the Hanged Men. On a trip to
Brussels, Maigret unwittingly causes a man's suicide, but his own
remorse is overshadowed by the discovery of the sordid events that
drove the desperate man to shoot himself. This novel has been
published in previous translations as Maigret and the Hundred
Gibbets and The Crime of Inspector Maigret. 'One of the greatest
writers of the twentieth century' Guardian
General
