Nairobi Noir is an act of excavation, rediscovering the city's ossified past and infusing life to preserve it for future generations.

In Simenon's final novel featuring Inspector Maigret, the famous detective reaches a pivotal moment in his career.

E ben più che strani sono gli eventi che si svolgono in una ricca e tranquilla città di mare affacciata sul Baltico negli anni in cui la navigazione a vapore ha ormai sostituito i grandi velieri.
