Summary
A masterful tale of murder and intrigue in a small French town, from the celebrated author of the Maigret series
Nobody mentioned the victims, or the terror that had gripped the town. For the last twenty days it had rained and between the usual quiet conversations and card games, only the trickle of water and the air of cold fear could be detected.

About The Author
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.
Howard Curtis has translated more than a hundred books, mostly fiction, from French, Italian and Spanish for publishers in the UK and the USA, including over twenty novels in the Penguin Simenon series. He has won several major awards and has also taught translation.
