Chief Inspector Maigret is known for his methodical investigations into the gritty crimes of Paris, but his usual work is abruptly interrupted by an order from on high. He is assigned to a case that feels more like a babysitting job when he is told to look into death threats made against Ferdinand Fumal, a powerful and widely disliked billionaire.
The assignment forces Maigret and his team into the unfamiliar world of the Parisian elite, where motives are hidden behind layers of wealth and influence. The inspector must protect a man he finds morally repulsive while trying to determine if the threats are real or just a ploy for attention. For a detective who relies on instinct and understanding human nature, this case presents a unique and frustrating challenge.
Maigret airs Sunday October 19, at 9/8c on PBS.
