Au retour des vacances, Justin Calmar prend seul le train de Venise à Paris ; sa femme et ses enfants rentreront quelques jours plus tard. Dans son compartiment, un étranger parvient habilement à obtenir toutes sortes de renseignements sur son compte. Calmar a honte de sa complaisance, mais cela ne l'empêche pas d'accepter la mission que lui confie l'inconnu : à Lausanne, où Calmar a deux heures d'attente avant sa correspondance, retirer une petite valise à la consigne de la gare et la porter dans une rue proche, chez une certaine Arlette Staub. L'étranger, qui doit poursuivre son voyage jusqu'à Genève, sort du compartiment à un moment donné et ne reparaît plus. Troublé ; Calmar se rend néanmoins chez Arlette Staub, mais c'est pour y découvrir le corps d'une jeune femme assassinée.On the train back from his holidays in Venice, where his family is staying for a few more days, Justin Calmar meets a stranger and agrees to take care of a suitcase just before the stranger disappears. That chance encounter in a train compartment will change his life forever - Simenon at his best.
