Three seasonal stories set in Paris at Christmas from the celebrated creator of Inspector
Maigret. It is Christmas in Paris but beneath the sparkling lights and glittering decorations
lie sinister deeds and dark secrets... This collection brings together three of Simenon's most
enjoyable Christmas tales newly translated featuring Inspector Maigret and other characters
from the Maigret novels. In 'A Maigret Christmas' the Inspector receives two unexpected
visitors on Christmas Day who lead him on the trail of a mysterious intruder dressed in red
and white. In 'Seven Small Crosses in a Notebook' the sound of alarms over Paris send the
police on a cat and mouse chase across the city. And 'The Little Restaurant in Les Ternes (A
Christmas Story for Grown-Ups)' tells of a cynical woman who is moved to an unexpected act of
festive charity in a nightclub - one that surprises even her...
