Articoli correlati a Maigret and the Reluctant Witnesses: Inspector Maigret...
A once-wealthy family closes ranks when one of their own is shot, leaving Maigret - along with a troublesome new magistrate - to pick his way through their secrets.
It was as if suddenly, long ago, life had stopped here, not the life of the man lying on the bed but the life of the house, the life of its world, and even the factory chimney that could be seen through the curtains looked obsolete and absurd.
Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations.
'His artistry is supreme' John Banville
