Description: "In Liáege, the city of Georges Simenon's youth, a foreigner is found dead, and two young boys are accused of his murder, in this installment of the Inspector Maigret series"--
Brief description: Georges 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.
