Gustave Macé

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gustave -Placide Macé (* 1835 in Paris ; † 1904 there ) was a French police chief. He was the head of the Paris Criminal Police ( Sûreté National ) and caused a stir with the publication of his memoirs, which were a mixture of personal experiences, life stories and (often anonymous) letters. His books formed one of the foundations of modern forensics and a source of inspiration for the Maigret novel series by Georges Simenon .
