The Misty Harbor (Inspector Maigret)

The Misty Harbor (Inspector Maigret)

Georges Simenon

Picador USA

nidottu
In The Misty Harbor, a missing harbormaster turns up, only to be murdered on his first night home, in another captivating tale featuring Georges Simenon's intrepid Inspector Maigret. A man, clad in brand-new clothes with no identification, is found on the streets of Paris. Mute, he also has a bullet hole in his head that has been perfectly patched up--altogether a strange fellow, yet affable. His maid Julie soon turns up to claim him; he is Captain Yves Joris, the harbormaster at Ouistreham. Maigret accompanies the pair safely back home, but the next morning, the captain dies, poisoned. Maigret decides to stay, pacing the thickly fog-obscured docks, striking up conversations with busy figures. The new harbormaster doesn't know why three hundred thousand francs would have been transferred into Joris's account. Mayor Grandmaison has an attitude that suggests he'd rather be mingling with the town's social elite. Julie herself is loath to share anything relating to her brother, the secretive ex-convict Big Louis, for fear of appearances. There's a nebulous danger lurking in this little town--things are leaving a bad impression for Maigret, and he won't rest until he learns what happened to the captain.

A man on the run, a madman on the loose terrorizing the town, and Maigret on the case--a thrilling, nerve-racking mystery from Georges Simenon. The Madman of Bergerac finds Maigret on the train to Bordeaux trying to sleep, to no avail. A man in the bunk above is tossing and turning, perhaps even crying. Suddenly, the passenger jumps up, then jumps off the moving train. Maigret instinctively follows suit but is struck down, shot in the shoulder. When he reawakens, he's hospitalized and surrounded by officials--who think he is the local murderer. Though the confusion is soon cleared up, Maigret's interest is piqued by the stories of the madman who has been killing women on the side of the road, first strangling his victims, then stabbing them with a giant needle. It's a case that comes about by pure chance, and there's nothing to do but recover, bedridden. So using his indefatigable power of deduction, along with his penchant for mischievous schemes, the inspector resolves to figure out just what the situation is in Bergerac.

'Remarkable' New York Times 'No one is better than Simenon at showing how banal domestic conflict can lead to murderous catastrophe' Financial Times An acerbic tale of marital warfare and emotional estrangement, in a brilliant new translation In the oppressive silence of the sitting room, the woman finally smoothed out the paper and, without putting on her glasses, read the two words her husband had written: The cat. Amidst the din of their Parisian neighbourhood, Émile and Marguerite live in total silence. After a hasty marriage in their sixties, their uneasy peace was shattered when Émile’s beloved cat mysteriously disappeared and was later found dead. Branding his wife the culprit, Émile’s retaliation against Marguerite’s cherished parrot sparked a silent battle of wills. Now they live parallel lives, communicating only through spiteful notes, mocking glances and mute accusations. As their suspicion and resentment mount, this bitter game of psychological warfare becomes a twisted necessity, binding them together in a relentless cycle of torment from which there can only be one escape. First published in 1967, The Cat is a masterful exploration of marital discord, loneliness and the absurdity of human relationships, painting a vivid portrait of two souls trapped in quiet desperation.

In a dimly lit apartment building, where shadowy figures come and go, a man has been killed in Georges Simenon's The Shadow Puppet.

The lights of the apartment windows flicker, and Maigret sees shadowy figures at the window. Behind one is a dead man and an empty safe. As one life begins, another has come to a dark end. In this installment of the Inspector Maigret series, the Parisian detective uncovers a tragic story of desperate lives, unhappy families, addiction, and a terrible, fatal greed.

An evocative tale from Georges Simenon that unearths the inspector's past: Maigret finds an anonymous note predicting a crime in his hometown. I wish to inform you that a crime will be committed at the church of Saint-Fiacre during first mass on All Soul's Day. This handwritten note is deposited at the headquarters of the Police Judiciaire in Paris. Maigret sets off for the village, having been there last for his father's funeral. As bleary-eyed people depart the service the next day, Maigret thinks the note must be wrong--until the motionless Countess of Saint-Fiacre, upon closer look, is found dead in her pew. Who is responsible for the crime, so cowardly and so skillful? Could it be the countess's young secretary and alleged lover; the tight-lipped priest; the profligate Count of Saint-Fiacre, home to seek money for his bounced check; or the new estate manager, who has taken over Maigret's father's position? All the while inundated with troubling memories from his past, Maigret remains steadfast in his hunt for clarity on this sinister turn of events.

A thought-provoking mystery unfolds in a small coastal Dutch town after a host's private party ends in murder. A French professor is staying in a coastal Dutch town while on a lecture tour--but when his host is murdered, he's held for questioning as the prime suspect. Maigret's assistance is requested, so he travels to the northeast of Holland, where he meets the attendees of a small private gathering the week before: Beetje, the coquettish daughter of a local farmer; Madame Popinga, the victim's wife; Any Van Elst, her sister and a prospective lawyer; and Cornelius, a student at the Naval College; among a few others. While some are content blaming the outsider in their midst, Maigret senses something more enigmatic at play. Why does Conrad Popinga walk Beetje home every night she visits? What does the local crook Oosting know--and why was his cap found in the Popingas' bathroom, one of the only rooms that overlooks the crime scene? In a town this small, Maigret knows its inhabitants know more than they claim.

A crew's captain turns up dead, but it's the evil eye that haunts them--Inspector Maigret must navigate stone-faced sailors to solve the fishy sequence of events. A fishing boat docks at a port in Normandy--and hours later its captain is floating in the harbor, strangled to death. When Inspector Maigret arrives, at the behest of his old school friend, he finds the Oc an's crew will say nary a word about what transpired; instead, they speak only of the evil eye, a curse on the vessel they believe began even before they sailed. Pierre Le Clinche, a young wireless operator on board the ship who had markedly strained relations with the captain, is arrested for foul play. And more complications: in the captain's possession, a photograph of a faceless buxom woman, scribbled all over in red ink; the captain's handwritten will, deposited at the police station letterbox well after his death; the acrimony and fear that permeate the entire affair. In The Grand Banks Caf , a haunting, riveting tale from Georges Simenon, Maigret vows to find the answer to the mystery that has left every sailor silent.
