“The matchless French crime novelist" - Adam Gopnik, The New Yorker“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 GuardianA battle of wills between Inspector Maigret and an adversary from the past When a friend’s brother-in-law is accused of murdering his daughter’s lover, Maigret sets out for a small French town to help and upon arrival is plunged into an atmosphere of animosity. He soon finds himself tangled up in a case that may ruin the very people whom he has come to aid and must face an old enemy—an ex-police officer nicknamed “Inspector Cadaver"—who seems to be doing everything in his power to obstruct Maigret’s investigations. | Inspector Cadaver by Georges Simenon, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
