A serial killer is at work in Paris. His first victim is a
bookseller, found dead in her cellar. Other murders follow in
quick succession. The killings are not as random as they first
appear. A writer is the first to realise that they are following,
to the letter, the pattern of a book she has written. Fearing
that her own life may be in danger, she goes to the police and reveals
a terrible secret. But things are not quite what they seem...
