Maigret and the Tall Woman - Georges Simenon

Popis produktu

''Compelling, remorseless, brilliant'' John Gray ''When he had set them to work, Maigret had had a merry, almost fierce glint in his eye. He had set them loose on the house like a pack of hounds on the trail of a scent, encouraging them not with his voice, but by his whole attitude . . . would events have played out in the same manner, if the man from Rue de la Ferme hadn''t been a heavyweight like him, both physically and psychologically?'' This novel has been published in previous translations as Maigret and the Burglar''s Wife.''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
