Maigret Has Scruples

About “Maigret Has Scruples”

This passage describes a rare moment of calm at the Quai des Orfevres, a police station where detectives often work under intense pressure. During busy periods, cases come rapidly, leaving the staff exhausted and overworked. However, occasionally, there is a sudden and unexpected lull, so brief that it goes almost unnoticed. During these times, the station experiences a quiet period, interrupted only by minor telephone calls that have no real significance. This calm is a rare break from the usual chaos.
