Description: Once a police inspector in the vice squad, Richard Diquet now earns his crust as a private detective. Presently he is concerned with the mysterious death of another detective, Edouard Lory, whose body appears to have been thrown from a train. The police have no interest in Lory’s death – from the packet of drugs they find on the corpse it is obvious he is the victim of a private vendetta between drugs traffickers. As he carries out own his own investigation into Lory’s killing, Diquet is contacted by a businessman, Murdoc. Never one to turn down a client, Diquet accepts Murdoc’s instructions to snoop on an attractive young woman named Lorraine, who turns out to be the mistress of Murdoc’s brother, the successful industrialist Germain Badinget. What begins as a straightforward assignment turns into something much more involved. Finally it dawns on Diquet that he has been duped…
