Summary
As has become his custom, police commissioner Paul Bellamy takes his annual summer break in the south of France, staying with wife Francoise’s family in Nimes.  Bellamy, a workaholic, would rather be back in Paris fighting crime and certainly has no enthusiasm for his wife’s holiday plans.  Fortunately, he is rescued by the unexpected arrival of two men – his good-for-nothing brother Jacques and a 40-something stranger, Noël Gentil, who is in desperate need of his help.  The former takes a perverse delight in raking over old family grievances whilst the latter intrigues Paul with a bizarre tale involving a murder and faked insurance claim.  This is the kind of holiday Paul Bellamy prefers...
