A gyilkos
Hans Kuperus kisvárosi orvos Frízföldön. Békés, rendezett életét egy névtelen levél dúlja föl: Alice, a felesége megcsalja, ráadásul éppen azzal a léha arisztokratával, Schutter ügyvéddel, akit nemrég választottak meg Kuperus helyett a helyi Biliárdakadémia elnökének.
Amikor ... Folytatás ›› Alice és Schutter eltűnik, mindenki részvéttel fordul a doktor felé. Ám hamarosan két holttest kerül elő egy csatorna mélyéről. A kettős gyilkosság megrázza a városkát: se nyom, se gyanúsított, se bizonyíték...
Kuperus megpróbál tovább élni, mintha mi sem történt volna. Látogatja a betegeit, eljár biliárdozni barátaival az Onder de Linden kávézóba, esténként felbont egy üveg burgundit, ám amikor szeretőjévé teszi a szobalányát, szájára veszi a város.
Az egyre fullasztóbb légkörben saját magát szorítja sarokba a gyilkos, akit már az sem érdekel, hogy elárulja önmagát...
A(z) A gyilkos (Könyv) szerzője Georges Simenon.

Maigretova gangsterská partie, Maigret a bláznivá stařenka
V Maigretově gangsterské partii se komisař potýká nejen s horlivým inspektorem Lognonem a jeho churavou chotí, ale především s triem amerických gangsterů, kteří si v Paříži počínají jako v ulicích Chicaga. V příběhu Maigret a bláznivá stařenka pak stojí před případem vraždy staré paní, jež se mu pár dní předtím svěřila s podezřením, že je někým sledována. Motiv tohoto činu mu zůstává dlouho utajen…

Liberty Bar: Inspector Maigret 17
This is a new translation of Georges Simenon's devastating novel set on the French Riviera, book seventeen in the new Penguin Maigret series. It had a smell of holidays. The previous evening, in Cannes harbour, with the setting sun, had also had the smell of holidays, especially the Ardena, whose owner swaggered in front of two girls with gorgeous figures. Dazzled at first by the glamour of sunny Antibes, Maigret soon finds himself immersed in the less salubrious side of the Riviera as he retraces the final steps of a local eccentric. Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret on the Riviera. "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 and short stories have made him a household name in continental Europe. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life.

Madman of Bergerac
This is a new translation of Simenon's tense novel, book fifteen in the new Penguin Maigret series. He recalled his travelling companion's agitated sleep - was it really sleep? - his sighs, and his sobbing. Then the two dangling legs, the patent-leather shoes and hand-knitted socks...an insipid face. Glazed eyes. And Maigret was not surprised to see a grey beard eating into his cheeks. This is a distressed passenger leaps off a night train and vanishes into the woods. Maigret, on his way to a well-earned break in the Dordogne, is soon plunged into the pursuit of a madman, hiding amongst the seemingly respectable citizens of Bergerac. Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. "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.

Misty Harbour: Inspector Maigret 16
This is a new translation of Georges Simenon's gripping tale of lost identity. This is the book sixteen in the new Penguin Maigret series. A man picked up for wandering in obvious distress among the cars and buses on the Grands Boulevards. Questioned in French, he remains mute...A madman? In Maigret's office, he is searched. His suit is new, his underwear is new, his shoes are new. All identifying labels have been removed. No identification papers. No wallet. Five crisp thousand-franc bills have been slipped into one of his pockets. A distressed man is found wandering the streets of Paris, with no memory of who he is or how he got there. The answers lead Maigret to a small harbour town, whose quiet citizens conceal a poisonous malice. Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. This novel has been published in a previous translation as Death of a Harbour Master. "Compelling, remorseless, brilliant." (John Gray).

Blue Room
This is a new translation of Simenon's gripping novel about lives transformed by deceit and the destructive power of lust. It was all real: himself, the room, Andree still lying on the ravaged bed. For Tony and Andree, there are no rules when they meet in the blue room at the Hotel des Voyageurs. Their adulterous affair is intoxicating, passionate - and dangerous. Soon it turns into a nightmare from which there can be no escape. Simenon's stylish and sensual psychological thriller weaves a story of cruelty, reckless lust and relentless guilt. "A double crime, a dark provincial scandal, and a dreadful sort of triumph...presented with shattering power." (San Francisco Chronicle). "The romans durs are extraordinary: tough, bleak, offhandedly violent, suffused with guilt and bitterness, redolent of place...utterly unsentimental, frightening in the pitilessness of their gaze, yet wonderfully entertaining." (John Banville). "One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century...Simenon was unequaled 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.

Cecile is Dead: Inspector Maigret 20
Barely twenty-eight years old. But it would be difficult to look more like an old maid, to move less gracefully, in spite of the care she took to be friendly and pleasant. Those black dresses . . . that ridiculous green hat!
For six months the dowdy Cécile has been coming to the police station, desperate to convince them that someone has been breaking into her aunt's apartment. No one takes her seriously - until Maigret unearths a story of merciless, deep-rooted greed.

Judges House: Inspector Maigret 22
Exiled from Paris, Maigret discovers some disturbing secrets in a sleepy coastal town in this new translation, book twenty-two in the new Penguin Maigret series. He went out, lit his pipe and walked slowly to the harbour. He could hear scurrying footsteps behind him. The sea was becoming swollen. The beams of the lighthouses joined in the sky. The moon had just risen and the judge's house emerged from the darkness, all white, a crude, livid, unreal white. Exiled from the Police Judiciare in Paris, Maigret bides his time in a remote coastal town of France. There, among the lighthouses, mussel farms and the eerie wail of foghorns, he discovers that a community's loyalties hide unpleasant truths.

Maigret és a vérfoltos öltöny
Maigret főfelügyelő egy brüsszeli kávézóban gyanús alakra figyel fel, aki ezerfrankos bankókat számolgat. A nyomába szegődik, az amszterdami vonatra is felül mellé, majd észrevétlenül elcseréli a bőröndjét. Amikor az ismeretlen rájön a cserére, egy brémai zugszállóban főbe lövi magát.
Maigret-t bűntudat gyötri. Ám miért lesz öngyilkos valaki, akitől csak egy ócska öltönyt loptak el? Vajon egy régi vérfolt miatt?
A főfelügyelőt a gyorsan pergő nyomozás Brémából Párizsba és Reimsbe, majd a belga Liege-be, Simenon szülővárosába is elviszi. Csakhogy valaki mindig, mindenütt egy lépéssel előtte jár...
Az egyik legkorábbi Maigret-történet önéletrajzi ihletésű, valós eseményeken alapul.
