Download Lock No. 1: Inspector Maigret, Book 18 AudioBook Free
A fresh translation of Georges Simenon's book set in a claustrophobic provincial town. Autos drove past along with the vehicles and trams, but by now Maigret had recognized that these were not important. Whatever roared by like this along the street was not part of the panorama. What really counted was the lock, the hooting of the tugs, the stone crusher, the barges and the cranes, the two pilots' pubs, and especially the extra tall house where he could make out Ducrau's red chair framed by the window. This book has been publicized in a past translation as The Lock at Charenton. Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. Most widely known in Britain as the author of the Maigret literature, his prolific outcome of over 400 books and short testimonies have made him a household name in continental European countries. He passed on in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he previously resided for the latter part of his life.
