L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : I do some Sunday photography. Nothing exciting. I shoot houses, old shops, small streets. Barnivel got me hooked.
Dora Monier : Barnivel?
L'inspecteur adjoint Antoine : You don't remember him? A great old guy. Unfortunately, he had this thing about poisoning people. He wiped out his whole family. His wife, two daughters, his brother-in-law. He photographed them on their deathbed. A real artist.
