A new translation of this gripping domestic tragedy, set in
Simenon's very own neighbourhood. One by one the lighted windows
went dark. The silhouette of the dead man could still be seen
through the frosted glass like a Chinese shadow puppet. A taxi
pulled up. It wasn't the public prosecutor yet. A young woman
crossed the courtyard with hurried steps, leaving a whiff of
perfume in her wake. Summoned to the dimly-lit Place des Vosges one
night, where he sees shadowy figures at apartment windows, Maigret
uncovers a tragic story of desperate lives, unhappy families,
addiction and a terrible, fatal greed. Penguin is publishing the
entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. This novel has
been published in previous translations as Maigret Mystified and
The Shadow in the Courtyard. '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
