Simenon Georges Maigret in Court
They suddenly found themselves in an impersonal world, where everyday words no longer seemed to mean anything, where the most mundane details were translated into unintelligible formulae. The judges' black gowns, the ermine, the prosecutor's red robe further added to the impression of a ceremony set in stone where the individual counted for nothing Maigret receives an anonymous phone call concerning the brutal murder of a woman and young child. The tip off concerns the woman's nephew, a mild-mannered man by the name of Gaston Meurant. Maigret remains unconvinced of the man's guilt and at his trial exposes some shocking truths about Meurant's private life that may prove his innocence.

Simenon Georges Maigret
Avant d’ouvrir les yeux, Maigret fronca les sourcils, comme s’il se fut mefie de cette voix qui venait lui crier tout au fond de son sommeil : – Mon oncle !… Les paupieres toujours closes, il soupira, tatonna le drap de lit et comprit qu’il ne revait pas, qu’il se passait quelque chose puisque sa main n’avait pas rencontre, la ou il eut du etre, le corps chaud de Mme Maigret. Il ouvrit enfin les yeux. La nuit etait claire.

Eyes half-closed, head tilted against the back of his seat, he seemed not to be thinking, as the plane flew over a thick carpet of bright clouds. In reality, he was making an effort to bring names and shadowy figures to life, names and figures that even this morning had been as unknown to him as the inhabitants of another planet. The attempted suicide of a countess and the death of a billionaire in the same luxury Paris hotel send Maigret to the Riviera and then to Switzerland, as he searches for the truth amid the glittering world of the super-rich. This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret and the Millionaires.

'This was natural. It is the same everywhere. Rarely, however, had Maigret had such a strong sense of a clique.

Then there are the others, like those who stood huddled on the sidelines looking disgruntled.'
