Maigret and the Reluctant Witnesses

'His artistry is supreme' John Banville

It was as if suddenly, long ago, life had stopped here, not the life of the man lying on the bed but the life of the house, the life of its world, and even the factory chimney that could be seen through the curtains looked obsolete and absurd.

A once-wealthy family closes ranks when one of their own is shot, leaving Maigret - along with a troublesome new magistrate - to pick his way through their secrets.

'One of the greatest writers of our time' Sunday Times

Reviews

Parsons is superb. He produces a riveting story from an unedifying subject which grips from start to finish. It horrifies, informs and thrills , and you cannot turn away until the very last page. Now that’s how a book should be

—— On: Yorkshire

Parsons handcuffs you from the first page... written with a winning combination of horror and compassion - this is one Wolfe that really bites

—— The Sun

Die Last [is] a fast-paced, cunningly plotted story about human smuggling and sex trafficking, written with headline-ripping immediacy

—— The Herald

Fast-paced and darkly witty… Gripping Stuff

—— Closer

It was totally gripping and the pages slipped away

—— Woman’s Way

this is crime writing to die for

—— GQ
