When one of his best inspectors is shot, Maigret decides to book himself into Mademoiselle Clement's well-kept Paris boarding house nearby in order to find the culprit.
Georges Simenon (Author)
Georges Simenon was born in Li ge, 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.
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
