    The stabbing of a seemingly innocuous suburbanite reveals unsuspected mysteries whose solution illustrates shatteringly how hard a man's life can be, and what he can be driven to. Poor murdered Monsieur Louis, made redundant by heartless employers after more than 25 years, could not bear to tell his harridan wife and brattish daughter. All he did all day was to sit on benches and stare at life going past - so how did he acquire such large sums of money and what was his connection with the sinister acrobat? A famous Maigret case makes for a satisfying hour, with a guest appearance by a famous future TV cop, Stratford Johns of "Z Cars" and "Softly, Softly".moreless
