Afternoon Play: Maigret: A Man's Head

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Georges Simenon. Dramatised by David Cregan. One of the great detective fiction heroes returns to radio in the first of four stylish new dramas for the 21st century. Simenon's finest creation, Inspector Maigret of the Police Judiciare in Paris (played by Nicholas Le Prevost), takes on one of his most famous cases. Set in the 1930s, the story evokes the Paris of Hemingway with a touch of Dostoyevsky in a city of jazz.
