Georges Simenon`s haunting tale about the lengths to which people will go to escape from guilt, translated by Linda Coverdale as part of the new Penguin Maigret series. A first ink drawing showed a hanged man swinging from a gallows on which perched an enormous crow. & there were at least twenty other etchings & pen or pencil sketches that had the same leitmotif of hanging. On the edge of a forest: a man hanging from every branch. A church steeple: beneath the weathercock, a human body dangling from each arm of the cross... Below another sketch were written four lines from Francois Villon`s Ballade of the Hanged Men. On a trip to Brussels, Maigret unwittingly causes a man`s suicide, but his own remorse is overshadowed by the discovery of the sordid events that drove the desperate man to shoot himself. ” Compelling, remorseless, brilliant”. (John Gray). ” 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). Georges Simenon was born in Liege, Belgium, in 1903. Best known in Britain as the author of the Maigret books, his prolific output of over 400 novels & short stories have made him a household name in continental Europe. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerl&, where he had lived for the latter part of his life. Linda Coverdale is the awarding-winning translator of many French works & has been honoured with the title of Chevalier of the Order of Arts & Letters for her contribution to French literature. ...
