Minor shelf wear, Corners bumped. Jacket shows a little creasing, darkening, back has some scuffs. Most likely a book club edition, although not stated, this volume contains three Inspector Maigret mysteries originally published between 1956 - 1961. This book is a good way to get a big dose of this popular French detective. Maigret's Failure - "The vulgarly rich owner of a chain of butcher shops, 'The King of the Meat Trade', is murdered for motives both understandable and obvious. Maigret in Society - "The inspector confronts a cast of characters so subtle and overbred as to seem unreal. Maigret and the Lazy Burglar - "A risky profession is exercised by an eminently cautious man." Translated by Daphne Woodward and Robert Eglesfield.
