Sinopsis

“Both the Maigret books and his standalone romans durs . . . are a joy. What they have in common is crisp, economical prose, unexpected emotional depth and a strange sense of modernity.” —Andrew Taylor

Nearly two years into his police retirement, Maigret has turned down all offers of private detective work—until, during a broiling hot August, the teenage daughter of a wealthy family is found drowned in the Seine. According to her grandmother, the imperious Bernadette Amorelle, it was neither an accident nor a suicide. The former inspector must, she insists, abandon his garden and accompany her to the affluent hamlet of Orsenne.

Maigret is ill at ease in the cloistered milieu of manicured lawns, yachts, and swimming pools. Seeing the strained dynamic among the dead girl’s relatives, his disquiet grows. Why is a sixteen-year-old boy, her cousin, kept locked up? And why does Bernadette loathe her son-in-law, a board director of all the family companies, with such passion? In this gothic-tinged Machiavellian tragedy, Maigret is unflinching in his quest for answers—even if they blacken his view of humanity more than he’d thought possible.

Acerca del autor

Georges Simenon (1903–1989) was born in Liège, Belgium. An intrepid traveler with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand—and not to judge—the human condition in all its shades. His books 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.

Ros Schwartz has translated numerous works of fiction and nonfiction from French, including several Georges Simenon titles, a new translation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince, and Mireille Gansel’s Translation as Transhumance. The recipient of a number of awards, she was made a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2009 and received the Institute of Translation and Interpreting’s John Sykes Memorial Prize for Excellence in 2017.
