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...?
