Challenge to a mystery buff

Great story... Numerous characters with twists and turns throughout. One of the more interesting offerings from Simenon. Gareth was great as always.

Georges Joseph Christian Simenon (1903 – 1989)

Georges Joseph Christian Simenon (1903 – 1989) was a Belgian writer who claimed to have slept with 10,000 women in his search for "la femme." His literary output was nearly as prolific yet always quite good.

A tale of noblese oblige.
