Maigret Gets Angry
Author: Georges Simenon
Format: Paperback
Inspector Maigret
'Acute psychological insight and a distinctive, spare, atmospheric style ... Simenon ought to be spoken of in the same breath as Camus, Beckett and Kafka' — Independent on Sunday
In this classic novel, a dramatic case unfolds while Inspector Maigret is visiting colleagues in America
'The FBI man was convinced, in short, that Maigret was a big shot in his own country but that here, in the United States, he was incapable of figuring out anything'
Inspector Maigret is touring the United States to observe American policing methods, when a visit to a troubling coroner's inquest in Arizona sparks a fascination with the story of a young girl and five airmen in the desert.
'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century' — Guardian
'Gem-hard soul-probes . . . not just the world's bestselling detective series, but an imperishable literary legend' — Boyd Tonkin, The Times
About the Author
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.
