Best.-Nr. 30519Paris Presses de la Cité 11 juin 1954. 1 vol. 115 x 170 mm de 221 p. et 1 f. Broché sous couverture illustrée. . Édition originale. Un des 100 premiers exemplaires sur pur fil n° 15. . Écrit en janvier 1954 à Shadow Rock Farm dans la campagne du Connecticut où Simenon s'est installé ce 45e titre de la série offre une variation presque introspective sur la méthode du commissaire : rien n'y est spectaculaire mais tout est intime. Peu d'action mais un regard une atmosphère. La lente et patiente remontée vers la vie de la morte devient la vraie enquête bien plus que la traque du coupable. Comme souvent chez Simenon l'intrigue est un prétexte une amorce pour faire émerger ce qu'il appelait lui-même « l'homme nu ». Paris, Presses de la Cité, (11 juin) 1954. 1 vol. (115 x 170 mm) de 221 p. et [1] f. Broché, sous couverture illustrée. unknown
Best.-Nr. 30515Paris Presses de la Cité 11 mars 1957. 1 vol. 115 x 170 mm de 184 p. 2 et 2f. Broché couverture illustrée. . Édition originale. Un des 100 premiers exemplaires sur alfa n° 78. . Le commissaire est en congé mais l'affaire le rattrape - ou plutôt il s'en amuse : depuis son fauteuil de la rue de Turenne dans l'appartement qu'il partage avec Madame Maigret il lit la presse écoute les rumeurs et suit à distance une enquête qu'il ne mène pas. Celle sur le cadavre d'une femme nue retrouvée dans un cabinet médical devient le théâtre d'un ballet invisible où les gestes des autres - policiers journalistes suspects - suffisent à faire émerger la vérité. Ainsi l'inspecteur Janvier aidé par quelques coups de pouce anonymes de Maigret parviendra à conclure seul sa première enquête. Mais pour montrer au commissaire qu'il n'a pas du tout été dupe de son petit subterfuge il lui adresse une lettre anonyme sur laquelle il inscrit deux mots : « Merci patron. ». Un Maigret tout à fait atypique mais néanmoins de référence qui s'impose comme une réflexion sur l'intuition et la rigueur de la pensée pour résoudre une énigme fusse-t-elle à distance. Paris, Presses de la Cité, (11 mars) 1957. 1 vol. (115 x 170 mm) de 184 p., [2] et 2f. Broché, couverture illustrée. unknown

Cette enquête de Maigret - atypique puisque le commissaire échoue - fut rédigée dans la propriété de Simenon dans les hauteurs de Cannes « Golden Gate » du 26 février au 4 mars 1956 selon un rituel bien ancré. Le dactylogramme est aujourd'hui conservé au Fonds Simenon de Liège en Belgique. Bel exemplaire. Paris, Presses de la Cité, (12 septembre) 1956. 1 vol. (115 x 170 mm) de 184 p., [3] et 1 f.
