This is a new translation of this chilling novel, set on the Belgian border. Book fourteen in the new Penguin Maigret series. She wasn't an ordinary supplicant. She didn't lower her eyes. There was nothing humble about her bearing. She spoke frankly, looking straight ahead, as if to claim what was rightfully hers. 'If you don't agree to look at our case, my parents and I will be lost, and it will be the most hateful legal error...' Maigret is asked to the windswept, rainy border town of Givet by a young woman desperate to clear her family of murder. But their well-kept shop, the sleepy community and its raging river all hide their own mysteries. Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels.

He makes me think of Chekhov.'</p> William Faulkner 'The greatest of all, the most genuine novelist we have had in literature'</p> Andre Gide A supreme writer unforgettable vividness </p> The Independent 'Superb... The most addictive of writers... A unique teller of tales'</p> The Observer Compelling, remorseless, brilliant. </p> John Gray 'A truly wonderful writer... marvellously readable - lucid, simple, absolutely in tune with the workd he creates'</p> Muriel Spark 'A novelist who entered his fictional world as it he were a part of it'</p> Peter Ackroyd 'Extraordinary masterpieces of the twentieth century'</p> John Banville</p>
