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. Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret in Exile.

In everyone's eyes, even the old ladies hiding behind their quivering curtains, even the kids just now who had turned to stare after they had passed him, he was the intruder, the undesirable.

Maigret nyaralni megy
Madame Maigret nyaralásuk harmadnapján heveny vakbélgyulladással kórházba kerül Les Sables-d'Olonne-ban. Maigret szorgalmasan látogatja minden nap azonos időben a kisvárosi klinikán, míg egy nap valaki rejtélyes üzenetet csempész a zsebébe, amelyben arra kéri, hogy szánja meg a 15-ös szobában fekvő beteget.
Mielőtt Maigret eldönthetné, mihez kezdjen az információval, az említett beteg - egy fiatal lány - meghal, s nemsokára az is kiderül, hogy két nappal korábban a lány sógora, a kisváros tiszteletben álló orvosa ugyancsak halálos balesetet szenvedett. Maigret-t nem hagyják nyugodni a furcsa körülmények, s miközben pihenését tölti - járja a Parti sétányt, benéz a vendéglőkbe, issza a könnyű fehérborokat, figyeli a bridzselőket, látogatja Madame Maigret-t -, egyre jobban belemerül a nyomozásba.
Maigret felügyelő rajongói garantáltan nem fognak csalódni ebben a klasszikus történetben sem, amely most jelent meg először magyarul.

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.
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.

Maigret és az idegek harca
Egy Párizs környéki villában holtan találnak egy gazdag amerikai özvegyet és a házvezetőnőjét. Meggyilkolták őket. A gyanú a helyszínen járt kifutófiúra, Joseph Heurtinre terelődik, akit le is tartóztatnak, majd halálra ítélik. Maigret felügyelő azonban nem hisz Heurtin bűnösségében: ... Folytatás ›› titokban megszervezi a szökését, mert meg van győződve arról, hogy el fogja vezetni az igazi gyilkoshoz.
A szökés nyilvánosságra kerül, de Maigret szerint egy emberélet igazán megér egy kis botrányt. Csakhogy Heurtinnek nyoma vész, így a felügyelőre egyre nagyobb nyomás nehezedik. Ezért bejelenti, hogy ha tíz napon belül nem tudja kézre keríteni a bűnöst, benyújtja lemondását.
Maigret hamarosan veszedelmes ellenféllel találja szemben magát. Sikerül-e rábizonyítania a gonosztettet? A választ Simenon egyik legsikeresebb, nyolc alkalommal megfilmesített regényéből tudhatjuk meg.

Questa volta Maigret l'ha preso davvero male il ritorno dalle ferie: a Parigi si respira ancora aria di vacanze, l'estate non si decide a finire, e perfino al Quai des Orfvres l'atmosfera gli pare insolita. Come se non bastasse, gli capita di avere degli incubi. Sicché accoglie quasi con sollievo una di quelle telefonate che lo svegliano in piena notte buttandolo gi dal letto mentre sua moglie scatta in cucina a fargli un caff. La vittima dell'omicidio sul quale dovr indagare un tipico uomo tranquillo", ex proprietario di un cartonificio in pensione da qualche anno per motivi di salute, buon padre di famiglia, amato dalla moglie e adorato dalla figlia - uno che non aveva nemici perché "tutti gli volevano bene". Eppure Maigret sente subito che in quel caldo e armonioso quadretto familiare in apparenza senza crepe, in quell'esistenza borghese e ovattata dove l'eventualit di un delitto totalmente inconcepibile, c' qualcosa che non funziona, qualcosa di stridente. E questo non pu che turbarlo: perché quel mondo di gente ammodo (e talmente "buona" da tentare fino allo spasimo di coprire il colpevole) anche il suo, e a tutti loro lui pensa "come a persone di famiglia"."
