Maigret's Secret explores Maigret's internal struggle with an old case whose conclusion continues to haunt him.

At a dinner party, Maigret recounts the case of Adrien Josset, who was found guilty and executed for the murder of his wife, Christine. Despite all clues pointing to Josset's guilt under the controlling influence of the magistrate, Maigret remains unconvinced following his one interview with Josset.

Years after the case, Maigret still questions the true identity of the murderer, unable to let go of his lingering doubts.
