This 1978 omnibus published by Heinemann/Octopus assembles ten of Georges Simenon’s most incisive psychological and detective novels, spanning crime fiction, political drama, and existential inquiry. The Maigret titles chronicle the inspector’s methodical unraveling of domestic secrets, bureaucratic corruption, and social facades, illustrating his intuitive grasp of human weakness. The Little Man from Archangel and The Brothers Rico shift into darker territory, detailing paranoia, betrayal, and the moral collapse of ordinary men under pressure. Striptease and The Premier present character studies that dissect power, sexuality, and public image with clinical precision. Across these works, Simenon argues that truth is rarely clean and justice often hinges on psychological nuance rather than legal clarity.
