First: sorry for that nasty typo in my previous posting..
Simenon named his noir novels: tough novels (dur-in
French).
I recommend you to read : The Stain on the Snow . Probably
his masterpiece. But anyway a great book...
Also: The Rings of Bicê´²e(aka The Patient) The Cat Three Beds
in Manhattan
There are more, but it's a good start.
