Approached by a man who confesses in advance to a crime he plans to commit, Maigret must race to prevent the crime from being committed—unless it already has been.
Inspector Maigret has always been drawn to human element of detective work, the stories and personalities that lead to crimes and, for Maigret, make it possible to solve them. But Maigret gets more than he bargains for one Saturday afternoon when a man visits him at home to confess to a crime he has yet to commit. Unable to turn to his usual methods without an actual crime, Maigret has to get creative to prevent a tragedy. When the man disappears, Maigret must rush to find him and stop the crime the man threatened from being carried out—but another crime may have already been committed. Turning the classic Inspector Maigret novel inside out, Maigret and the Saturday Caller is a disturbing journey into the depths of human despair and its violent consequences, and a meditation on the limits of police work’s ability to prevent them.
