Liberty Bar by Georges Simenon
A new translation of Georges Simenon's devastating novel set on the French Riviera.
It had a smell of holidays. The previous evening, in Cannes harbour, with the setting sun, had also had the smell of holidays, especially the Ardena, whose owner swaggered in front of two girls with gorgeous figures.
Dazzled at first by the glamour of sunny Antibes, Maigret soon finds himself immersed in the less salubrious side of the Riviera, as he retraces the final steps of a local eccentric.
This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret on the Riviera.
