Charles Dupeux, a book-keeper, comes home as usual, but instead of sitting down to dinner with his family he locks himself in the attic. He does not respond to the questions his wife and daughters shout through the keyhole, except to slip a message under the door to be left alone.
He paces, moves furniture, makes growling noises. Downstairs his family and relations speculate as to what might be happening, casting anxious glances at the ceiling.
Why does a man 'frightened as a rabbit' suddenly separate himself from everyone? Why is his boss, a proud, overbearing man, so upset? What is the secret between them?
Against the background of the seedy and prosaic world of the suburbs of Rouen, Simenon tells a convincing tale of blackmail, murder and human unhappiness.
