Description
xWhen the body of a nameless young woman is discovered, Maigret must investigate the hidden lives of Paris's lost girls.
When a young woman is found dead in a rainy square in Montmartre, all Maigret has to go on is a cheap blue evening gown and single shoe. Following the traces of the victim's final days from dress shops to late-night cafés and lodging houses, Maigret slowly builds up an image of a shy provincial girl who'd arrived in Paris full of hope, and who quickly learned how easy it is to disappear. Maigret and the Dead Girl is one of Georges Simenon's most poignant investigations, exploring the quiet desperation of young women adrift in the city of lights--and the fragile bonds that briefly protect them. A rain-soaked study of human vulnerability, the novel shows Maigret at his most patient and most humane.Author: Georges Simenon

By Georges Simenon
xGeorges Simenon (1903-1989) was born in Liège, Belgium. An intrepid traveler with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand--and not to judge--the human condition in all its shades. His books 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.
