Jean-François Garreaud

Overworked cop Richard wants nothing more than to put away the killer of his 10-year-old daughter and soon suspects the wrong man was convicted.

Following the assassination of the President, an investigation commission comes up with questionable conclusions about a lone gunman. The commission’s findings are not good enough for dogged State Attorney Volney, played by screen great Yves Montand. Volney reopens the case and unspools a tightly wound conspiracy plot in Henri Verneuil’s icy-cool and intelligent investigative thriller.
