Georges Simenon`s tragic tale of lost identity, translated by David Coward as part of the new Penguin Maigret series. What was the woman doing here? In a stable, wearing pearl earrings, her stylish bracelet & white buckskin shoes! She must have been alive when she got there because the crime had been committed after ten in the evening. But how? & why? & no one had heard a thing! She had not screamed. The two carters had not woken up. Inspector Maigret is standing in the pouring rain by a canal. A well-dressed woman, Mary Lampson, has been found strangled in a stable nearby. Why did her glamorous, hedonistic life come to such a brutal end here? Surely her taciturn husband Sir Walter knows
- or maybe the answers lie with the crew of the barge La Providence. ” 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 Liege, Belgium, in 1903. Best known in Britain as the author of the Maigret books, his prolific output of over 400 novels & short stories have made him a household name in continental Europe. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerl&, where he had lived for the latter part of his life. David Coward is Emeritus Professor of French at the University of Leeds, England & an award- winning translator of numerous works from French.

Professor Allan J. Lichtman, who has correctly forecasted thirty years of presidential elections, makes the case for impeaching the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump Impeachment will ”proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust, ” & ”they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself. ” (Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist, 1788) Professor Allan J. Lichtman, who has correctly forecasted thirty years of presidential elections, makes the case for impeaching the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump In the fall of 2016, Distinguished Professor of History at American University Allan Lichtman made headlines when he predicted that Donald J. Trump would defeat Democrat, Hillary Clinton, to win the presidential election. Now, in clear, nonpartisan terms, Lichtman lays out the reasons Congress could remove Trump from the Oval Office: his ties to Russia before & after the election, the complicated financial conflicts of interest at home & abroad, & his abuse of executive authority. The Case for Impeachment also offers a fascinating look at presidential impeachments throughout American history, including the often-overlooked story of Andrew Johnson`s impeachment, details about Richard Nixon`s resignation, & Bill Clinton`s hearings. Lichtman shows how Trump exhibits many of the flaws (and more) that have doomed past presidents. As the Nixon Administration dismissed the reporting of Bob Woodward & Carl Bernstein as `character assassination` & `a vicious abuse of the journalistic process, ` Trump has attacked the `dishonest media, ` claiming, `the press should be ashamed of themselves.` Historians, legal scholars, & politicians alike agree: we are in politically uncharted waters. The durability of institutions is being undermined & the public`s confidence in them is eroding, threatening American democracy itself. The world wants to know where the United States is headed. Lichtman argues, with clarity & power, that for Donald Trump`s presidency, smoke has become fire. ...
