Inspector Gilles Maintenon has finally run up against an original mindâsomeone whoâs very good at wasting his time. A young bank employee is found dead in a vault that shows every sign of having been robbed. The premier Paris branch of CrÃĐdit Lyonnais holds ten or twenty million francs on a busy day. Then thereâs the safety-deposit boxes. A proper investigation takes time. The police are nothing if not predictable in their procedures. But that other mind has already gone down that road. Theyâve had plenty of time to think it through. Their killer, using simple human psychology, has come up with a brilliant plan. Gilles would dearly love to meet the mind that conceived of that plan. He intends to do just that.
