Maigret's Revolver follows Maigret as he travels to London on the trail of a young man on the run.

The most exasperating of all was the head clerk at reception, dressed in an elegant morning coat and stiff collar, which did not wilt with a drop of perspiration. He treated Maigret in a cordial manner, possibly feeling sorry for him. From time to time, he flashed a smile at Maigret, intended to be both complicit and encouraging.
