Charles Dupeux, a humble bookkeeper,
comes home from work as usual. But in-
stead of sitting down to dinner with his
family, he locks himself in the attic. He
does not respond to the questions of his
wife and his daughters--except to slip a
message under the door demanding to be
left alone. He paces, growls, moves fur-
niture. Downstairs his family and rela-
tives speculate on what might be hap-
pening, occasionally casting anxious
glances at the ceiling.
Why does a man "as timid as a rabbit"
suddenly seclude himself? Why is his
proud and overbearing boss so upset?
What is the secret between them?
Simenon portrays in precise detail the
seedy, prosaic, unsentimental world of
the suburbs of Rouen and against that
background tells a superb tale of human
suffering and depravity.
