Description

'The father of contemporary European detective fiction' Ann Cleeves

It had a smell of holidays. The previous evening, in Cannes harbour, with the setting sun, had also had the smell of holidays, especially the Ardena, whose owner swaggered in front of two girls with gorgeous figures..

Dazzled at first by the glamour of sunny Antibes, Maigret soon finds himself immersed in the less salubrious side of the Riviera as he retraces the final steps of a local eccentric.

Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret on the Riviera.

'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

'A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness' Independent

Ein schöner Maigret für die Sommerferien. Auch der Kommissar macht Urlaub, in Antibes, bei den Schönen und Reichen, die in einer Parallelwelt leben. Ein hässlicher Mord passt hier nicht ins Bild. Maigret soll «keine Geschichten» produzieren. Er hängt in der wunderbar beschriebenen «Liberty Bar» in Cannes ab, die das Gegenbild zur sauberen Glanzwelt darstellt. Dort trifft er auf einprägsame Charaktere, allen voran Jaja, die alte alkoholabhängige Dirne mit den exquisiten rohen Kochkünsten. Ein interessanter Maigret, weil er hier schwitzt, dahinvegetiert, nicht recht weiss, was er tun soll – um am Ende die Verbrecher ziehen lässt. Der Elitenkosmos Cote d'Azur bleibt verschont von dreckigen Mätzchen.
