Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The entire Parisian literary scene is in turmoil: Sandra, a renowned author, has just been found strangled. Her murder is the subject of much speculation in her entourage, and some are tempted to conduct the investigation alone. All the more so as Commissioner Bartillot is obviously more sensitive to the charms of a suspect than to those of the case.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
