Vieille canaille

Darius Caunes is not what he looks like. He killed his wife two years ago, and he is counterfeiting currency. He has even made a friend of the honest and dogged police inspector who investigated his wife's murder. Even the best plans go astray, he finds himself having to spin a web of improvisations that lead him into less than artistic crimes and murders. the indignation of the murderer at the failure of his schemes is at least as funny, and as thrilling, as the detective's persistence and energy in getting the numerous clues he is given exactly wrong.
