Jules Perrot

In the novel Death in the Clouds, Jules Perrot is the booking clerk for Universal Airlines at their Paris office at 254 Boulevard des Capucines. He is described as a "smart-looking dark man".

Under questioning by Poirot, Perrot confessed that he had accepted a bribe of 5000 Frances from a man to manipulate some seat bookings on a Le Bourget-Croydon flight. When Madame Giselle's maid, Elise Grandier, called to book a seat, Perrot was to tell her that the 8.45 am service was full and to book her on Seat 2 on the 12.00 pm flight. According to Perrot, the man was an American by the name of Silas Harper. He told Perrot that he wanted to negotiate a loan from Madame Giselle but he wanted to encounter her in an unpremeditated manner. Harper had booked himself on Seat 1 for that same flight. When Perrot read on the newspapers that Harper was not himself on that flight, he concluded that he did not need to tell the police about it.
