Summary
Since his wife died, Inspector Louis Baroni has become a virtual recluse, preferring the solitude of his quiet house to the company of others.  His period of mournful contemplation is broken when he is called out to look into the suspicious death of Madame Morlaix, who apparently fell from an upstairs window.  Curious to find out more, Baroni begins his inquiry, but before he makes any headway he is diverted to another case, involving drugs trafficking.  With Baroni occupied elsewhere, Inspector Larrieu continues the Morlaix investigation and concludes that the woman’s death was accidental.  Against the wishes of his superiors, Baroni re-opens the case and makes an effort to get to know the dead woman’s husband.  The inspector finds he has a natural rapport with Morlaix, since both are lonely men who are distraught by the loss of their wives.  In the course of his investigation, Baroni meets the Morlaixs’ neighbour, who is convinced that she saw the murder...
