Résumé

Maigret baits a clever trap to lure the murderer of five stocky women, all brutally knifed in the streets of Montmartre one hot a steamy summer. Playing on the perverse vanity of the killer, the Inspector narrowly misses capturing his culprit. Finally he succeeds in uncovering a clue that leads him to a trio of suspects entangled in a web of guilt and possessiveness so tight that the unraveling nearly exhausts Maigret - until, at last, he uncovers the tortured motives behind the crime.
