When a salesman from a Paris department store confides his secret fears to Maigret, the Inspector soon becomes caught up in a treacherous feud between husband and wife that is not as clear cut as it seems.… (meer)
Eerst komt de echtgenoot, dan de echtgenote bij Maigret om te vertellen over hun relatie en het gif.
