Maigret goes to London on the trail of a young man on the run.
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.
*Guardian*
A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness.
