Maigret has gone to Saint-Aubin, unofficially, as a personal favour to the examining magistrate, Brejon. A local youth has been run over by a train and malicious rumours are circulating that Brejon's brother-in law, Etienne Naud, had murdered the young man and that Genevieve, Naud's daughter had been his mistress. Justin Carve, and ex-policeman turned detective, is there also and Maigret finds competition for every snippet of evidence.
