Maigret at the Coroner's sees Maigret grappling with the American justice system on a trip to Arizona.

The FBI man was convinced, in short, that Maigret was a big shot in his own country but that here, in the United States, he was incapable of figuring out anything. The more Cole watched him thinking things over, the more it amused him. Well, Maigret happened to believe that men and their passions are the same everywhere.
