A Man's Head

This Maigret story begins with the inspector arranging a prison escape by a man whom he believes to be innocent of two murders. It goes from there into the mind of a type of criminal who drips contempt for the world because of his own shortcomings. Simenon again uses genre fiction to make a powerful and perceptive statement about human nature.
