Produktbeschreibung

A panicked man turns to Maigret for help-and dies before the detective can learn his identity. Who was he, and what led to his brutal murder? One morning, Maigret receives several phone calls from an increasingly panicked man. He's being followed, he says, and his pursuers want to kill him. Before Maigret can track down the caller, his lifeless body is thrown from a car. Yet his identity remains a mystery. Who was he, and what led to his brutal murder? As Maigret sorts through the bewildering evidence, he develops a surprising affinity for this anonymous victim, whose personality seems to resemble his own. His legendary intuition heightened, the inspector is poised to crack a case with, it turns out, far greater repercussions than one man's death. Fiendishly plotted and humming with psychological tension, Maigret's Dead Man is an unmissable installment in Georges Simenon's famous detective series.

Rezensionen

One of the greatest writers of the 20th century . . . no other writer can set up a scene as sharply and with such economy as Simenon does . . . the conjuring of a world, a place, a time, a set of characters - above all, an atmosphere John Banville Financial Times
