One winter evening, Melchior Kimmel kills his wife, Hélène, on a road on the Côte d’Azur. Although the police suspect him of murdering him, he is not arrested for lack of evidence. A few months later, another woman, Clara Saccard, is found dead in a bus station. This time around, the suspect is her husband, Walter, who coincidentally is a bookstore customer owned by Kimmel.
