Summary
Alan Wolf runs a dance school with an almost tyrannical fervour, aided
by his assistant Chico. Once, Wolf was a highly regarded dancer,
but a motorcycle accident brought an abrupt end to his career, as well
as killing his partner. When one of his students dies during a
class, Wolf’s ex-wife Ella Cebrian suspects that she may have been
murdered. She alerts her neighbour, Inspector Michel
Éparvier, but he is sceptical. After Wolf has sent two
more of his students to a premature grave, Éparvier’s initial
doubts begin to evaporate. Ella’s subsequent death would suggest
that Wolf is on a killing spree. But are things really what they
seem...?
