Stalwart Inspector Maigret of the Paris police doggedly hunts Pietr the Latvian, a well-known villain with a knack for slipping out of the grasp of the law, in Georges Simenon's Pietr the Latvian.
This is the first Maigret novel, from 1930, now in re-release from Penguin Books.
Simenon wrote tons of these Maigret novels, and I had never dipped a toe into them until now, thinking this might be a good place to start. It is a good solid mystery, with load of colorful details about life on the shabby side of the Parisian world, and was interesting enough for me to seek out another one.
I borrowed this from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library and read it quickly.
