A handpicked selection of novels featuring Simenon's legendary literary detective, Inspector Maigret, with striking new covers.

Maigret and the Old People follows Inspector Maigret as he is called to the home of the Comte de Saint-Hilaire, a highly respected official who has been found shot dead in the study of his elegant Parisian home. The violent death of this distinguished former ambassador—an old man without political secrets or enemies—confounds the detective. Then a mysterious bundle of old letters leads him closer towards a tragic truth.

Translated by Shaun Whiteside.

About the Author

Georges Simenon (Author) Georges Simenon was born in Li ge, 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.
