For a Cop's Hide (1981)

In the shadowy labyrinth of Paris, ex-police officer Choucas has traded his badge for the precarious life of a private detective. Alongside his enigmatic partner, Tarpon, and the resourceful secretary Charlotte, Choucas is embroiled in a complex case of financial fraud involving a pharmacy worker named Jude. However, his world of deceit and treachery deepens when middle-aged Isabelle Pigot, desperate and fearful, hires him to unearth the truth about her blind daughter Marthe's sudden disappearance from the Drillard Foundation for the Blind. Ignoring the stern warnings of Police Inspector Coccioli to abandon the case, Choucas plunges deeper into the enigma. A rendezvous with Isabelle in a bustling square ends in tragedy when Isabelle is assassinated, a bullet to her forehead silencing her secrets. Choucas, undeterred by the escalating danger, persists in his quest for the truth. In an unexpected twist, the corrupt Chief Inspector Madrier attempts to eliminate Choucas, but the seasoned detective survives, killing his assailant in self-defense. Choucas's perilous journey leads to a terrifying abduction by two ruthless criminals, only to escape and continue his relentless pursuit. As the plot unfurls, he reunites with his covert ally, the retired Chief of Police Haymann, and the loyal Charlotte. Together, they unmask a sinister narcotics conspiracy, revealing the corrupt underbelly of the city's law enforcement. Simultaneously, Choucas is confronted with a shocking revelation: he's been puppeteered by Coccioli and other top-ranking officers, ensnared in a web of deception that reaches far beyond his darkest suspicions.
