La pipe de Maigret
II était sept heures et demie. Dans le bureau du chef, avec un soupir d'aise et de fatigue à la fois, un soupir de gros homme à la fin d'une chaude journée de juillet, Maigret avait machinalement tiré sa montre de son gousset. Puis il avait tendu la main, ramassé ses dossiers sur le bureau d'acajou. La porte matelassée s'était refermée derrière lui et il avait traversé l'antichambre. Personne sur les fauteuils rouges. Le vieux garçon de bureau était dans sa cage vitrée. Le couloir de la Police judiciaire était vide, une longue perspective à la fois grise et ensoleillée.

Stan the Killer
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.

Een misdaad in Holland
Commissaris Maigret reist af naar het Groningse provincieplaatsje Delfzijl na een wanhopig verzoek van de Franse professor Jean Declos, die verdacht wordt van moord. Tijdens Maigrets officieuze onderzoek, waarbij hij zich vooral laat leiden door de talrijke liefdesverhoudingen van het slachtoffer, maakt hij geen vrienden. De flamboyante Parijzenaar zaait verwarring en onrust in het nette dorp, waar alle mensen doodbraaf lijken. Wie kan de schuldige zijn? Georges Simenon bedacht het personage Jules Maigret toen hij op vakantie was in Delfzijl. De rest is geschiedenis: de Maigretverhalen vlogen over de toonbank en werden vele malen verfilmd. Een misdaad in Holland, dat zich afspeelt op de plek waar Maigret werd bedacht, is hét schoolvoorbeeld van de whodunit.Vertaald door Anne van der Straaten

The Cat
A quite wonderful study of how uncompromising humans become in their old age ... This novel has been given the label of “classic” for a reason. The writing is rich, the plot is interesting — Simenon, in his infinite literary wisdom, ticks all the boxes of fine storytelling. But it’s the depth of character that boosts it from good to great ... If you’ve already read Simenon, it’s a reminder of his talent. And if you haven’t, think of The Cat as a gateway drug
