Jérôme, a Parisian restaurateur on a visit
to Marseille, is found stabbed to death in
a cove. To uncover the reasons behind
the murder, Mac Orlan hones in on those
close to the victim. First, Hassan, his best
friend, who is also a restaurateur. Jérôme
had gone to stay with Hassan to have a
look round the Marseille area with a view
to moving there. Then there is Cyrielle,
the victim's sister, a young woman who is
addicted to drugs, a mythomaniac and,
above all, extremely possessive of her
brother. And finally, Patrick, a friend who
became homeless...
