Maigret and the Loner: Inspector Maigret

Description

”The father of contemporary European detective fiction” Ann Cleeves

”People who”ve been here a long time have been talking about him. This morning, when I was having my coffee and croissants, it was all they were talking about. The old folks, even the middle-aged people, remember him and can”t understand how he could have become a tramp. Apparently he was a good-looking man, tall and strong, who had a good profession and made a very decent living. And yet he vanished overnight without saying a word to anyone.”

The death of a homeless man in a condemned building in Les Halles leads Maigret on the trail of the vagrant”s mysterious past, and an event that happened years ago in the close-knit community of Montmartre.

”His artistry is supreme” John Banville

”One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century” Guardian
