On a train journey to Amsterdam. Maigret is curious about one passenger carrying a large suitcase.
When confronted by the police, he shoots himself.
While trying to find out more about the dead man. Another man claims to have known him which leads Maigret to take an interest in a trio of respectable men who have something to hide.
Maigret realises that they have a dark secret, one of them pushes Maigret into a train track. Later another man takes a shot at him.
All three men are waiting for a month to elapse. As the 10 year statute of limitation expires for their crimes. A time when the men were younger, wilder, more anarchical and were involved in a murder.
The story had a very thetrical way as the men recalled the incident in the night in question. It also has a very pragmatic and forgiving approach from Maigret.
