Critics Review

A supreme writer … unforgettable vividness

One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century … Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories * Guardian *A supreme writer … unforgettable vividness * Independent *Intense and atmospheric … Simenon brilliantly and sparely recreates the New York of the time - the all-night diners, the sleazy bars, cheap hotels and threadbare apartments. – Richard Hopton

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.
