The sunshine almost as thick as syrup in the quiet streets of the Left Bank . . .\nthere are days like this, when ordinary life seems heightened, when the people walking down the street, the\ntrams and cars all seem to exist in a fairy tale.'\nA story told by a condemned man leads Maigret to a bar by the Seine and into the sleazy underside of respectable Parisian life. In the oppressive heat of summer, a forgotten crime comes to light.\nPenguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. This novel is a revised translation, previously published as The Bar on the Seine.\n'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray\n'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\n'A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness' Independent","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51606198616352,"sku":"9780141394176","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780141394176.jpg?v=1778653046","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-two-penny-bar-georges-simenon-9780141394176","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
