{"product_id":"9780698193826","title":"The Saint-Fiacre Affair","description":"Maigret's past comes to life in this vivid new translation of this evocative novel, set in the Inspector's home town. Book thirteen in the new Penguin Maigret series.  Maigret savoured the sensations of his youth again: the cold, stinging eyes, frozen fingertips, an aftertaste of coffee. Then, stepping inside the church, a blast of heat, soft light; the smell of candles and incense.  The last time Maigret went home to the village of his birth was for his father's funeral. Now an anonymous note predicting a crime during All Souls' Day mass draws him back there, where troubling memories resurface and hidden vices are revealed.     Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret Goes Home.  'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray  'One of the  greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled  at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his  brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories' Guardian     'A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness' Independent  Georges  Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. Best known in Britain as  the author of the Maigret books, his prolific output of over 400 novels  and short stories have made him a household name in continental Europe.  He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121389355248,"sku":"9780698193826","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780698193826_p0.jpg?v=1763620812","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780698193826","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
