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.
