Maigret and the Man on the Bench

`He was wearing a dark suit, a beige raincoat and on his feet, which were twisted at an odd angle, he wore yellow-brown shoes, which seemed out of keeping with a day as colourless as this. Apart from his shoes he looked so ordinary that he would have passed completely unnoticed on the street or on one of the numerous cafe terraces on the boulevard.` When Maigret discovers an unexpectedly flamboyant detail about an otherwise unremarkable man, the inspector is determined to uncover what lies beneath the stuffy appearance of his Parisian household. Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. `His artistry is supreme` John Banville `One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century …Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories` Guardian `A supreme writer …unforgettable vividness` Independent
