Maigret travels to the Dordogne region to go on a fishing trip with an old friend.
He gets off the wrong station and then gets show in the woods.
The police initially believe that Maigret is the Madman of Vervac. Someone who has been attacking women.
As he convalescences, Maigret suspects everyone. The doctor who treated him, the chief of police, the local mayor, even his old friend.
Madam Maigret acts as the the detective while Maigret is bed bound.
Based on the story, The Madman of Bergerac. Maigret is still a formidable foe to the locals even though he has been injured.
The police mistrust him, the doctor, his wife and his lover are wary of him.
Maigret is sure that someone has been protecting the attacker who killed again.
This was a good dramatization. Maigret and his wife make a fab team as they uncover dark secrets.
