An ill-fated notebook with compromising evidence on the pillars of society, who pursue an incorruptible man with murderous sophistication, falls into his hands. But he chooses the position of a "lone wolf", does not trust either the police or the special services until the hunters for the shocking document drive him into a corner ...

Many works of this author were filmed, including "The Death of a Scoundrel" (Mort d'un pourri, directed by Georges Lautner, starring Alain Delon, 1977).
