Georges Simenon is the master of the detective genre, the author of more than two hundred novels and short stories translated into 57 languages in 39 countries. He created the image of the inimitable commissar. Megre – a talented detective and a noble man, who was erected by a monument during the life of the author – and dedicated 76 novels and 26 stories to him. In the series “Detective in your pocket” – the best works about Megre!
The modest cashier, the breadwinner of the Big Family, Maurice Tromble, as always, getting together with the grumpy wife, was already going to bed when he suddenly received a bullet in his heart through the window. To whom did this colorless clerk interfere, which are thousands in the city? Probably, his daughter will help the investigation, whose jewelry is clearly not within the means?! And not only her! It turns out that Maurice had several lives: in one he was a diligent worker and a crown, and in the other – a wasteful sybarite. But where did he get the money from? An angry joke of fate overnight changed the life of the poor fellow and made him a miserable victim of a miserable killer.
