About this ebook
Cannes: palmieri, vile cochete înecate în verdeață, cazinouri, petreceri pe iahturi, cu muzică, lumini și femei frumoase... Liberty Bar, o cârciumă uitată de lume, pe o străduță dintr-un cartier sărac. William Brown cunoscuse bine ambele fețe ale orașului. Cândva mare proprietar în Australia, el eșuase pe Riviera, unde trăia dintr-o rentă plătită de familie. Doar că acum zace mort, ucis cu lovituri de cuțit. Iar Maigret are o listă atât de lungă de suspecți, încât nu știe de unde să înceapă...

About the author
The prolific Belgian-born writer Georges Simenon produced hundreds of fictional works under his own name and 17 pseudonyms, in addition to more than 70 books about Inspector Maigret, long "the favorite sleuth of highbrow detective-story readers" (SR). More than 50 "Simenons" have been made into films. In addition to his mystery stories, he wrote what he called "hard" books, the serious psychological novels numbering well over 100. The autobiographical Pedigree, set in his native town of Liege, is perhaps his finest work. The publication of Simenon's intimate memoirs also attracted considerable attention. Simenon himself once said that he would never write a "great novel." Yet Gide called him "a great novelist, perhaps the greatest and truest novelist we have in French literature today," and Thornton Wilder (see Vol. 1) found that Simenon's narrative gift extends "to the tips of his fingers." The following are some of Simenon's novels, exclusive of the Maigret detective stories, that are in print.
