About this product
Product Information
"One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories." -- The Guardian When the son of a wealthy businessman fears for his father's life, Maigret is plucked from retirement to visit New York on an unlikely quest Aged 56 and in his first year of retirement at Meung-sur-Loire, Maigret is surprised with a visit by Jean, the son of wealthy New York businessman John Maura. With the assistance of his aging lawyer, Jean convinces Maigret to accompany him to New York, where he believes his father is in danger. But things take an unexpected turn upon their arrival when it is Jean himself who disappears. Set against the mysterious backdrop of New York City, Maigret's investigation must unearth old crimes, outsmart treacherous characters, and overcome his status as an outsider policeman in the city.

Praise for Georges Simenon: "One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories." -- The Guardian "These Maigret books are as timeless as Paris itself." -- The Washington Post "The matchless French crime novelist." --Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker "Maigret ranks with Holmes and Poirot in the pantheon of fictional detective immortals." -- People "I love reading Simenon. He makes me think of Chekhov." --William Faulkner "An astute observer of human nature, writing in a spare and vivid style." --Amor Towles "I never read contemporary fiction-with one exception: the works of Simenon." --T.S. Eliot "A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason." --John Le Carré "One of the most important writers of our century." --Gabriel García Márquez "A favorite writer of mine." --Sigrid Nunez "A great writer of detail, of atmosphere." --Leïla Slimani "Feels incredibly modern...A great writer." --Ian Rankin "The greatest of all, the most genuine novelist we have had in literature." --André Gide "A supreme writer . . . Unforgettable vividness." -- The Independent (London) "Superb . . . The most addictive of writers . . . A unique teller of tales." -- The Observer (London) "Compelling, remorseless, brilliant." --John Gray "A truly wonderful writer . . . Marvelously readable--lucid, simple, absolutely in tune with the world he creates." --Muriel Spark "A novelist who entered his fictional world as if he were a part of it." --Peter Ackroyd "Extraordinary masterpieces of the twentieth century." --John Banville "Gem-hard soul-probes . . . not just the world's bestselling detective series, but an imperishable literary legend . . . he exposes secrets and crimes not by forensic wizardry, but by the melded powers of therapist, philosopher and confessor" Times (London) "Strangely comforting . . . so many lovely bistros from the Paris of mid-20th C. The corpses are incidental, it's the food that counts." Margaret Atwood "One of the greatest writers of the 20th century . . . no other writer can set up a scene as sharply and with such economy as Simenon does . . . the conjuring of a world, a place, a time, a set of characters - above all, an atmosphere." Financial Times "Gripping . . . richly rewarding . . . You'll quickly find yourself obsessing about his life as you tackle each mystery in turn." Stig Abell, The Sunday Times (London), Praise for Georges Simenon "One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . .
