Summary
When he started out as a modest dockworker thirty years ago, François Cardinaud could not have imagined that he would become one of the most powerful men on the island of La Rochelle.  Now, comfortably settled with a young family, he is surprised when his wife, Marthe, suddenly disappears one Sunday morning.  Hearing a rumour that Marthe has run off with Mimile Babin, a former lover, a jealous François sets about trying to find her.  To that end, he allies himself with André Drouin, a smuggler whose illegal activities have recently been denounced by Babin.
