Description
Maigret shrugged his shoulders, buried his hands in his pockets and went off without answering. He had just spent one of the most wretched days in his life. For hours, in his corner he had felt old and feeble, without idea or incentive. But now a tiny flame flickered. 'You bet we'll see' he growled.
Maigret's peaceful retirement in the countryside is disrupted when a relative unwittingly embroils himself in a crime he did not commit and the inspector returns to Police Headquarters in Paris once again.
Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret Returns.
'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

Schönes Setting. Maigret ist eigentlich pensioniert. Hat ein Landhäuschen mit seiner Frau, gemütlich. Plötzlich taucht sein Neffe auf. Der arbeitet auch bei der Polizei, wird eines Mordes verdächtigt. Maigret kehrt nach Paris zurück. Dann etwas zu sehr wie früher. Und zu wenig familiär. Aber die Ausgangslage ist schön.
