This book may appeal to you if you enjoy classic crime tales laced with intrigue and complex characters, particularly those set in a vividly portrayed Paris. As Inspector Maigret unravels the mystery entwined with American gangsters, the tension between his intuitive approach and the more bureaucratic policing style creates an engaging and suspenseful narrative.

Maigret, Lognon and the Gangsters

First published in French as Maigret, Lognon et les gangsters by Presses de la Citae 1952.

Maigret gets tangled up with some notorious American Gangsters in this new translation.

Maigret, Lognon and the Gangsters sees Maigret getting tangled up with some notorious American gangsters in this new translation.

Maigret was less angry, in fact, than he seemed. Pozzo was a tough customer, but he didn't mind that. Nor did he mind dealing with characters who had sent the American police packing—genuine hard men who played for keeps.

Maigret hadn't the slightest idea of the identity of the man who had been tipped out onto the pavement on Rue Flechier, almost at Inspector Lognon's feet. He didn't even know if the stranger was dead or not.
