Maigret aux assises originally appeared in 1960. It came out in English translation as Maigret in Court in 1961. The translator then was Robert Brain, and the translator for this newly entitled Penguin edition is Ros Schwartz. 
The original work was the 83rd in Simenon’s order of publication, and this work is the 55th in Penguin’s modern series of translations. 
This novel presents an uncomfortable Maigret on the stand testifying about a brutal double murder case that includes a suffocated 4-year-old little girl. Then, one follows the “Mender of Destinies” as he “willfully shoulders a responsibility difficult to explain related to an ensuing major crime. An interesting sidelight is a good look at the retirement home the Maigrets enjoy away from Paris in Meung-sur-Loire.
