Synopsis
One winter evening, Melchior Kimmel kills his wife Hélène on a highway on the Côte d’Azur.  Although the police suspect Kimmel of the murder, the case against him is dropped through lack of evidence.  A few months later, another woman, Clara Saccard, is found dead at a bus station.  This time, the suspect is her husband, Walter, who, coincidently, is a regular visitor to a bookshop owned by Kimmel.  Inspector Corby is convinced that the two killings are connected – but how...?
