In December 1945, Belgian-born French publisher Robert Denoël was murdered on the Place des Invalides in Paris. The case was categorized as a "random crime of violence" and closed. In 1947, at the main offices of the Express liégeois hebdomadaire, a local paper, Léon Schwartz, alias Léon Lenoir, a young journalist, was sent to Paris by his editor-in-chief, Raoul Vanegam, to again investigate the Denoël case. He managed to meet Delhomme, the policeman in charge of the investigation. Léon found new leads: Was Denoël murdered as part of the post-Liberation purge because of the books he published? Was he trying to buy a whitewash for his publishing house by using money earned with the publication of anti-Semitic publications during the war? What happened to the defense report implicating other Paris publishers? What was the involvement of Jeanne Loviton, his mistress, in this affair? All questions that Léon will try to answer.
