La balera da due soldi: Le inchieste di Maigret (9 di 75)

Adelphi Edizioni spa

«Una notte... Saranno state più o meno le tre... Camminavamo in rue... No, il nome della via neanche glielo dico... Una strada qualsiasi. Da lontano vediamo una porta che si apre... C’era una macchina accostata al marciapiede... Un tizio esce spingendone un altro... Anzi no, non è che lo spinga... Immagini uno che si porta a spasso un manichino e vuole farlo camminare come se fosse un vecchio amico!... Lo ficca in macchina, si siede al volante... Il mio socio mi lancia un’occhiata e siamo già sul paraurti posteriore... Non per niente allora mi chiamavano il Gatto!... Giriamo per un sacco di strade... Il tizio che guida ha l’aria di cercare qualcosa, di essersi sbagliato... Alla fine arriva al canale Saint-Martin, e allora capiamo cosa cerca... Ha indovinato anche lei, eh?... Il tempo di aprire e richiudere la portiera, e il corpo era già a mollo...».(Le inchieste di Maigret 9 di 75)

Maigret's Memoirs

Book 35

“One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories.” —The Guardian

A fictional autobiography of Maigret, Georges Simenon’s brilliant detective

In this make-believe memoir, Maigret recounts a meeting with the author himself. The account starts with the arrival of Georges Sim, as he is called here, at the Paris Police Judiciaire to soak up atmosphere for his crime novels by dogging the footsteps of Inspector Maigret. The detective is irritated by the audacious young writer who names a character after him and argues that he oversimplifies, in his fiction, the intricate duties of the police investigating a case. Here, Maigret “sets the record straight,” telling readers how he’s different from the invention, and about his courtship and marriage to his beloved Louise.

Ingeniously amusing and tender, Maigret’s Memoirs is a look inside the mind of the brilliant Maigret like never before.

Maigret Sets a Trap

Book 48

“One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories.” —The Guardian

With a serial killer on the loose in Paris, Maigret must outsmart the culprit before he can strike again. The inspiration for ITV’s feature-length adaptation starring Rowan Atkinson.

Detective Chief Inspector Maigret is known for his infallible instinct, for getting at the truth no matter how complex the case. But when someone starts killing women on the streets of Montmartre, leaving nary a clue and the city’s police force at a loss, he finds himself confounded. In the sweltering Paris summer heat, with the terrified city in a state of siege, Maigret hatches a plan to lure the murderer out.

Maigret in Court: Inspector Maigret #55

Georges Simenon

Maigret receives an anonymous phone call concerning the brutal murder of a woman and young child. The tip off concerns the woman's nephew, a mild-mannered man by the name of Gaston Meurant. At Meurant's trial Maigret is called to testify where he admits to continuing the investigation unofficially as he remains doubtful of the man's guilt. Maigret reveals that he had both Meurant and his wife followed and during the trial he exposes some shocking truths about Meurant's private life that may prove his innocence.

Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations.

'His artistry is supreme' John Banville

'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

The Blue Room

Georges Simenon

“One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories.” —The Guardian

Master novelist Georges Simenon’s critically acclaimed tale of the destructive power of lust and guilt

“He felt no resentment towards Andree for biting his lip. In the context of their lovemaking, it had its place.”

For Tony and Andree, there are no rules when they meet in the blue room at the Hotel des Voyageurs. Their adulterous affair is intoxicating, passionate—and dangerous. It soon turns into a nightmare from which there can be no escape. Heart-pounding and high-stakes, The Blue Room is a stylish and sensual psychological thriller that weaves a story of cruelty, reckless lust, and relentless guilt.

Cécile Is Dead

Book 20

“One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories.” —The Guardian

A moving novel about the destructive power of greed starring the unrivaled Inspector Maigret

“Poor Cécile! And yet she was still young. Maigret had seen her papers: barely twenty-eight years old. But it would be difficult to look more like an old maid, to move less gracefully, in spite of the care she took to be friendly and pleasant. Those black dresses that she must make for herself from bad paper patterns, that ridiculous green hat!”

In the dreary suburbs of Paris, the merciless greed of a seemingly respectable woman is unearthed by her long suffering niece, and Maigret discovers the far-reaching consequences of their actions.
