The impresario of France’s biggest film stars has an appointment with a killer he probably knows, but whose motives he has no idea about. Two days later, his body was found in a car park on Avenue Foch. Gérard Lebovici, a friend of Belmondo, Deneuve and Truffaut, thought he was safe. Untouchable. He relied on the legendary baraka that had made his life a breathtaking success, the envy of so many. Forty years later, the mystery remains. His death is all the more mysterious in that the leads followed by the Crim’ delved into worlds that were - on the face of it - far removed from the film and publishing industries to which Lebovici was linked. Organised crime, espionage, the ultra-left, gambling and money laundering. All against a backdrop of war between the Élysée Palace and the legendary 36 Quai des Orfèvres...

For the first time, an investigation into the investigation told from the inside, with previously unpublished material - including an intimate portrait of a man of passion(s) and a depiction of a worldly and wealthy ultra-left.
