The Dancer At The Gai-Moulin Av Georges Simenon

<b><b><b>“A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason.” —John Le Carré</b></b></b><br><br><b>The city of Simenon''s youth comes to life in this disturbing Inspector Maigret mystery set in Liège</b><br><br><i>“In the darkness, the main room is as vast as a cathedral. A great empty space. Some warmth is still seeps from the radiators. Delfosse strikes a match. They stop a moment to catch their breath, and work out how far they have still to go. And suddenly the match falls to the ground, as Delfosse gives a sharp cry and rushes back towards the washroom door. In the dark, he loses his way, returns and bumps into Chabot.”</i><br><br>Inspector Maigret observes from a distance as two boys are accused of killing a rich foreigner in Liège. Their loyalty, which binds them together through their adventures, is put to the test, and seemingly irrelevant social differences threaten their friendship and their freedom.
