Summary

When two human teeth are found in the furnace of a Flemish bookbinder, police quickly take him into custody. Blood stains are discovered on a suit in the suspect's closet, but he denies ownership. Then, a strangely heavy suitcase found in his workshop disappears. A neighboring shoemaker is willing to talk but his story changes with successive trips to the local tavern and is discredited. Without a body, the case seems impossibly perplexing--until Madame Maigret offers her help.

First line

The chicken was on the stove, with a fine red carrot, a big onion, and a bunch of parsley with the stems sticking out.
