Publisher's summary

Des notables peu recommandables...

À Concarneau, des faits troublants mettent la ville en émoi. On tente d'assassiner M. Mostaguen, au sortir de sa partie de cartes quotidienne à l'Hôtel de l'Amiral. Le sort s'acharne sur ses partenaires, car, deux jours après l'arrivée de Maigret, Jean Servières, rédacteur au Phare de Brest, disparaît ; le siège avant de sa voiture est maculé de sang. M. Le Pommeret meurt chez lui, empoisonné. Le docteur Michoux pense être le suivant.

Classic Maigret

Le Chien Jaune is an early Simenon/Maigret - the larger than life Maigret, the emphatic Maigret. It is a mystery of betrayal and revenge in a provincial town where an unscrupulous clique of high-heeled boys rules, but whose mutual luck is just starting to unravel. Le Chien Jaune -- the yellow dog -- a large, fearless breed -- seems to appear after criminal attacks, and becomes an omen for the ignorant.
Simenon is a superb writer. His prose is spare and taut. The ending - Maigret gathering all the parties in the courtyard of a citadel for cross examination - is classic - please note that this novel predates Christie's, Murder on the Orient Express, by three years. The narrator has wonderful pronunciation. It is unabridged.
