At a lavish dinner party, Inspector Maigret recounts the
tale of an old case that has haunted him for years
At one of his friends’ frequent dinner parties, Maigret
shares the story of a case from a few years back that haunts
him to this day, in which a man named Adrien Josset was
found guilty and was executed for the murder of his wife,
Christine. Adrien had been a weak-willed, mild-mannered man,
but Christine, who was much wealthier than he, had used her
connections to land him an influential position in an
important career. Maigret had interviewed Adrien only once
when the examining magistrate took over the case and
successfully moved to have him executed. But though all the
clues pointed to Adrien’s guilt, Maigret remained
unconvinced, and years later, he still doubts the murderer’s
true identity.
Maigret’s Secret is a thought-provoking dive into the
machinations of justice, and the ways in which they can
sweep away an innocent man’s life.
