Summary
Newly arrived in Paris, Galia lives in a small apartment near Notre-Dame cathedral.  One evening, whilst walking along the banks of the River Seine, Galia saves a young woman from drowning.  The woman, Nicole, tells Galia that she intended to drown herself, having left a suicide note for her husband, Greg.  Having settled Nicole in her apartment, Galia sets out to recover the suicide note, but waits so that she can observe Greg’s reaction.  When Greg appears unmoved by the note, Galia decides to wait for him at the art gallery where he works.  She follows him to a swimming pool where he meets up with another woman.  Galia relays all this back to Nicole, who is disappointed but not surprised by Greg’s behaviour.  After a weekend in Venice, Galia realises that she is in love with Greg but she does not yet know she has fallen into the same deadly trap as Nicole...
