Maigret In New York Av Georges Simenon

<p><b>''Compelling, remorseless, brilliant'' John Gray </b><br><br><i>What was it about him that had struck Maigret so forcefully? . . . Little John had cold eyes! . . . Four or five times in his life, he had met people with cold eyes, those eyes that can stare at you without establishing any human contact.<br><br></i>Persuaded to sail to New York by a fearful young law student, Maigret finds himself drawn into the city''s underworld, and a wealthy businessman''s closely guarded past.<br><br>''One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories'' <i>Guardian</i></p>
