'One of Simenon's darkest novels' Le Monde On a foggy winter's
evening in Dieppe, after the arrival of the daily ferry from
England, a railway signalman habitually scrutinizes the port from
his tiny, isolated cabin. When a scuffle on the quayside catches
his eye, he is drawn to the scene of a brutal murder and his once
quiet life changes forever. A mere observer at first, he soon finds
himself fishing a briefcase from the water and in doing so he
enters a feverish and secret chase. As the murderer and witness
stalk and spy on each other, they gain an increasingly profound yet
tacit understanding of each other until the witness becomes an
accomplice. Written in 1933, soon after the successful launch of
the Inspector Maigret novels, this haunting, atmospheric novel soon
became a classic and the inspiration for several film and TV
adaptations.
