Maigret's Pickpocket and Maigret and the Nahour Case

Product Information
Author: Georges Simenon Maigret's Pickpocket is concerned with film circles in the capital and the men and women desperately hanging on to the fringe. Maigret, of all people has his wallet stolen by a young man on a bus. Even more unexpected is the thief's telephone call later - a call that turns a simple case of larceny into a highly complex case of murder. In "Maigret and the Nahour Case", second in this two novel volume, Le Patron investigates the murder of a professional gambler whose wife, having fled with her love, is the obvious suspect. The inquiry develops into a sparkling battle of wits between the Inspector and the tight-lipped, uncooperative group of people concerned in the case. Here is Simenon at his entertaining best in two griping novels in which tangled, twisted lives are laid bare under the mercilessly probing scalpel of Inspector Maigret.
