Storyline

Maigret is called in the middle of the night by the Minister of Public Works to discreetly conduct an unofficial investigation into the theft of an engineering report from his office. The paper was written years earlier and correctly predicted the collapse of a sanatorium which killed 62 children. The high death toll puts everything and everyone connected with the building's construction under suspicion and the resultant scrutiny threatens to topple the government. Maigret correctly suspects the theft to be an inside job with politically-motivated ramifications. Written by Gabe Taverney (duke1029@aol.com)

Trivia

Michael Gambon felt very nervous acting opposite Peter Barkworth (The Minister) in this episode because Barkworth used to teach acting technique at RADA. Gambon felt that Barkworth was studying him all the time and mentally giving him marks out of ten for his performance. See more »
