The Late Monsieur Gallet Quotes

“The inspector knew the mentality of malefactors, criminals and crooks. He knew that you always find some kind of passion at the root of it.”
― Georges Simenon, The Late Monsieur Gallet

“I felt for too long anyway that there was something creaky about this story. You needn’t try to understand, but when all the material clues manage to confuse matters rather than clarify them, it means they’ve been faked … and everything, without exception, is fake in this case. It all creaked.”
― Georges Simenon, The Late Monsieur Gallet

“Aveva quarantacinque anni. Metà della vita l'aveva passata nei più diversi reparti della polizia: Buoncostume, Narcotici, e poi Polizia municipale, ferroviaria, addetta alle sale da gioco...

― Georges Simenon, The Late Monsieur Gallet
