Brr, baby, it's cold outside ...

So close that open window!

Businessman Oscar Laget is murdered in his office. The only other people in the building are accounted for in the waiting room downstairs. Maigret is called in and confines them all at the crime scene and waits to see who will crack first.

This is a claustrophilic little story, with its action confined to the office building and the courtyard just outside. This serves to highlight the stresses the characters experience. Maigret calls it "an English-style whodunit, like Agatha Christie." On a thoroughly trivial note, the characters call World War I "la guerre quatorze-dix-huit," meaning "the war of (19)14-(19)18" and the World War II "la guerre quarante," meaning "The War of (19)40."
