It seems like a hoax when Inspector Maigret receives a series of strange phone calls from a terrified man claiming he is being followed – and that his life is at risk. But that night, the man is found dead in the Place de la Concorde. To catch the killer, Maigret must delve into his dead man’s life – and into the murky Parisian underworld.

Translated by David Coward

The novels brim with atmosphere, insight and intelligence . . . quite unlike anything else written before or since

About Georges Simenon

Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium in 1903. An intrepid traveller with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand, rather than to judge, the human condition in all its shades. His novels include the Inspector Maigret series and a richly varied body of wider work united by its evocative power, its economy of means, and its penetrating psychological insight. He is among the most widely read writers in the global canon. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life.
