A reluctant investigation into the murder of a hated man forces Inspector Jules Maigret to confront his own indifference, as justice slips quietly out of reach.

Summoned by a man he despises, Maigret reluctantly agrees to protect Félix Fumal, a former schoolyard bully turned ruthless businessman whose fortune has been built on the ruin of others. Now wealthy, feared, and politically connected, Fumal has begun receiving anonymous death threats--but Maigret's interest is tepid, colored by old memories and a quiet sense that the man has earned his enemies.

When Fumal is found murdered in his own home, the case becomes a closed circle of suspects, each with ample motive and little remorse. As Maigret conducts his investigation, he moves without urgency, his usual instinctive immersion replaced by detachment and doubt. The truth hovers just out of reach--glimpsed, deferred, almost willfully ignored--until it emerges with disarming simplicity, too late to restore his confidence.
