Reprising the role of the morally dubious cop, Claude Chabrol's follow up is an ode to the Hitchcockian thriller focusing on a powerful religious writer who is murdered and defamed after shutting down a scandalous avant-garde theater performance.

Co-Starring french heavyweights, Jean-Claude Brially (CLAIRE'S KNEE & LE BEAU SERGE) as the queer widower who spends his time crafting replica eyeballs, & Bernadette Lafont (THE MOTHER AND THE WHORE, A VERY CURIOUS GIRL) as the enigmatic Hitchcockian blonde who also happens to be the ex-lover of our titular detective, Lavardin.
