Synopsis

Pendant le discours d'un ministre se flattant du succès d'une campagne antipollution, le corps d'une femme est découvert dans la Tamise. Le fleuve vient de charrier la nouvelle victime d'un meurtrier sadique, qui étrangle des femmes avec une cravate après les avoir violées. Dans le même temps, Richard Blaney, misanthrope solitaire d'une trentaine d'années, est renvoyé du café où il officiait en qualité de barman. Il demande assistance à son ancienne épouse, directrice d'une agence matrimoniale. Le lendemain, la malheureuse est retrouvée étranglée. Tous les soupçons se concentrent sur Richard Blaney...
