The Other Maigrets
Seven "Maigrets" have apparently never been published in English — three short stories, and four novels written in the summer of 1929, published under the pseudonyms Christian Brulls and Georges Sim: the so-called "precursors of Maigret," since Simenon proclaimed that "Pietr-le-letton" was "the first Maigret". (Translations of the three short stories and one novel appear here for the first time.)
