Synopsis
Etzel, the son of prosecutor Wolf Andergast, discovers that eight years
ago his father condemned Léonard Maurizius to a life sentence in
prison for the murder of his wife Elisabeth. The case made
Andergast famous but Etzel knows that Maurizius’s conviction depended
on the dubious testimony of a witness named Grégoire
Waremme. Determined to find out the truth, Etzel tracks Waremme
down to Zurich and discovers that the evidence he gave at the trial was
not the whole truth...
