The Madman Of Bergerac Av Georges Simenon

<b><b>“A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason.” —John Le Carré<br></b></b><br><b>A tense, unforgettable Inspector Maigret mystery from Georges Simenon</b><br><br><i>“He recalled his travelling companion’s agitated sleep—was it really sleep?—his sighs, and his sobbing. Then the two dangling legs, the patent-leather shoes and hand-knitted socks . . . An insipid face. Glazed eyes. And Maigret was not surprised to see a grey beard eating into his cheeks.”</i><br><br>A distressed passenger leaps off a night train and vanishes into the woods. Maigret, on his way to a well-earned break in the Dordogne, is soon plunged into the pursuit of a madman, hiding amongst the seemingly respectable citizens of Bergerac.
