Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "I always have a Simenon close at hand. In my youth I adored his Maigret books; nowadays I prefer his 'hard novels, ' as he called them, in which his mastery of human psychology is laid plain." --Julian Barnes Georges Simenon's chilling portrayal of tragic love, persecution, and betrayal. One sensed in him neither flesh nor bone, nothing but soft, flaccid matter, so soft and so flaccid that his movements were hard to make out. Very red lips stood out from his orb-like face, as did the thin moustache that he curled with an iron but that looked as if it had been drawn on with India ink; on his cheekbones were the symmetrical pink dots of a doll's cheeks.People find Mr. Hire strange, disconcerting. The tenants he shares his building with try to avoid him. He is a Peeping Tom, a visitor of prostitutes, a dealer in unsavory literature. He is also the prime suspect for a brutal murder that he did not commit. Yet Mr. Hire's innocence will not stand in the way of those looking for a scapegoat as tragedy unfolds in this quietly devastating and deeply unnerving work from Georges Simenon.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Dark, disturbing . . . Simenon discovered something fundamental about the soul." --The GuardianA string of murders has the small French town of La Rochelle in its grip. The victims, all elderly women, have been found strangled with cello string--in cafes, over card games, near the canal. As the winter rain gives cover to the killer stalking the streets with impunity, we watch as he deliberates over and justifies his heinous acts to himself, unaware that the quiet, unassuming tailor, Kachoudas, has discovered his secret. In this chilling game of cat and mouse we follow along in the steps of the killer, unsure if his crimes will be brought to light by the one man who knows his secret, or if Kachoudas will end up being the next of his victims in this masterful tale of murder and intrigue.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "A writer who, more than any other crime novelist, combined a high literary reputation with popular appeal." --P. D. James Caught in a spiral of bitter seclusion and drinking since his wife abandoned him and their newborn child eighteen years ago, Hector Loursat, once a respected lawyer, now holes up, unwashed and drunk on Burgundy, in his once grand but increasingly decrepit mansion. He barely notices the goings-on under his roof or the strange, dangerous secret life his daughter and her friends are leading there. He is shaken from his complacency by a gunshot one night and walks into the scene of a murder. Overcoming the inertia of his long isolation and inexplicably drawn to his daughter's group of young friends, he finds new engagement with the world as he seeks to clear the name of the young man accused of the killing. Simenon, master chronicler of the dark side of the human heart, gives us a detective story that is also a tale of an improbable redemption.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Simenon has concentrated noir into a darkness as solid and heavy as the interior of a dwarf star." --William T. VollmannWhat happens to everyday morality in a time of political deceit and betrayal? In an unnamed city under military occupation, nineteen-year-old Frank--a low-level thug and thief--should be content enough with his warm home and full stomach, even against the dreariness of an endless winter. Instead, though, he's inexorably drawn to commit a string of brutal, senseless acts of violence. Set against the backdrop of a bleak, pitiless world, Georges Simenon's The Snow Was Dirty is a peerless indictment and examination of the chilling banality of evil.
