US: Penguin Publishing Group, 2018. Paperback. Good. A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason." --John Le Carré "[My Friend Maigret] is a great vehicle for passing the dead minutes...by p ondering, with Maigret, the challenges of order versus chaos, how to serve justice, if it needs serving--and an island filled with 'nothing but phenom ena.'" --The New York Times Book Review Inspector Maigret investigates the murder of a small-time crook on a Medite rranean island While Inspector Pyke of Scotland Yard is staying with Maigret to observe hi s methods, Maigret receives word of a murder in the Midi on the island of P orquerolles. The victim is Marcellin, a man who claims to have been Maigret 's friend but was actually a criminal whose girlfriend, a sex worker, Maigr et helped out of a scrape years ago. Travelling to the island, Maigret and Pyke must solve a mystery that takes them deep into the shadowy world of art forgery and the heart of an isolated community with eccentric inhabitants--and no shortage of secrets. My Friend Maigret is a page-turning mystery set in the sun-drenched south of France about what can happen when past acquaintances resurface.

Synopsis

Three vintage Maigret novels by legendary mystery author Georges Simenon One of the world 's most successful crime writers, Georges Simenon has thrilled mystery lovers since 1931 with his matchless creation Inspector Maigret. In My Friend Maigret , Inspector Maigret investigates the murder of a small- time crook on a Mediterranean island. Told in Simenon's spare, unsentimental prose, Inspector Cadaver is a haunting exploration of provincial hypocrisy and snobbery, in which Maigret encounters a rival sleuth from his past. In Maigret and the Man on the Boulevard , Simenon's tenacious detective pieces together the life of a man who for three years lived a secret life-until he is found stabbed to death in an alleyway.
