Description
Georges Simenon's brilliantly atmospheric Maigret mystery—following the legendary Paris detective through a case centered on a dismembered body found in the Seine canals—demonstrates his incomparable ability to use a crime investigation as the medium through which the full texture of a particular social world is revealed. Written with his characteristic economy and his absolute focus on the human psychology beneath the surface of every mystery, this is the series at its most atmospherically compelling. Essential reading for every devotee of Simenon's extraordinary achievement.
