'The father of contemporary European detective fiction' Ann Cleeves

In this classic novel featuring Simenon's literary legend, a curious encounter on the tram leads Inspector Maigret to a sinister case

Inspector Maigret is savouring a beautiful spring morning in Paris when he has his wallet stolen by a pickpocket - only to find it returned the next day, on the condition he visit the thief's apartment. What Maigret discovers there sees him investigating an unusual murder, and embroiled in the world of aspiring film-makers - one where ever-changing loyalties can have tragic consequences.

Translated by Siân Reynolds

'Not just the world's bestselling detective series, but an imperishable literary legend' The Times

Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. An intrepid traveller with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand, rather than to judge, the human condition in all its shades. His novels include the Inspector Maigret series and a richly varied body of wider work united by its evocative power, its economy of means, and its penetrating psychological insight. He is among the most widely read writers in the global canon. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life.
