Maigret et l’affaire Nahour originally appeared in 1966. The first English translation came out as Maigret and the Nahour case in 1967. Seven subsequent reprints with the same title followed through 1986. The translator then was Alastair Hamilton, and the translator for this new Penguin edition is William Hobson. 

Be aware the ISBN-13 for this most recent edition is 978-0241304150, which should facilitate searching for this exact book from various other sources. 

The original work was the 93rd in Simenon’s order of publication, and this work is the 65th in Penguin’s modern series of translations. 

This novel begins with some mysterious happenings related to Maigret by Pardon, his friend and doctor. When a seemingly separate murder becomes connected, things grow even more mysterious. A flurry of differing lies from suspicious expatriates from three different countries challenges the Chief Inspector’s understanding but do not successfully evade his intuition.
