La troisième enquête du commissaire Verhoeven touche au plus secret de sa vie privée : témoin du hold-up d'une joaillerie des Champs Élysées, Anne Forestier, sa maîtresse, échappe par miracle à la fureur meurtrière du braqueur. De ce truand virtuose, assez rapidement identifié, Verhoeven connaît les habitudes et le mode opératoire. De la victime à demi morte, il ignore beaucoup de choses… Le flic se lance à l'aveugle dans une traque acharnée qui va devenir une bouleversante affaire personnelle.
