Film 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...?© James Travers
