Commissaire Duval’s sixth case leads him to the old center of Cannes, the Suquet
A young fisherman is found dead, next to a farewell letter to his lover. Duval grows suspicious when he realizes that the latter is Nicky, the wife of his eternal rival Louis Cosenza. If Cosenza is involved, maybe what at first glance looks like a suicide isn’t actually one. Duval begins investigating, and soon the police are focusing on more and more people – including Cosenza’s son, but also Patrick, a former skipper. Moving along different paths, as convoluted as the alleys of the Suquet, Duval moves closer to solving the case. And there are surprises in store for him personally as well: he finally discovers the secret that connected his father to Cosenza.
