*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: The Belgian author Georges Simenon was a very prolific writer. He aspired to be known as a serious writer and produced nearly 400 novels plus short stories, memoirs and autobiographies. His most famous creation, the French detective Jules Maigret, featured in 75 novels and 28 short stories and has become immortalised in international film, TV and radio. I remember growing up with the 1960s BBC TV series starring Rupert Davies. This week we have four Maigret novels, late 1950s/early 1960s editions, for your delectation, all Penguins and in English translations (natch). These have varying degrees of wear and tear, as described in our catalogue.
