- Fiction, Jules Maigret (Fictitious character), Police, Kriminalfall
First published as *Le Pendu de St Pholien*, this early Simenon records how Maigret unwittingly drove a little man to suicide. You'd have said that Louis Jeunet was a down-at-heel layabout, but he was packeting up over 30,000 francs when Maigret first spotted him in Brussels.
