Denis Sontag

In Murder Party, the French Télévisions film adaptation of Agatha Christie's A Murder is Announced, for the Les Petits Meurtres d'Agatha Christie TV series, Denis Sontag is the parallel of the character Randall Goedler in the original novel. He is not seen onscreen as he was already dead during the events in the show. Unlike the original, Sontag was not married nor did he had a sister. Leticia Salvan worked for him as his assistant and also became his lover. When Sontag died, he left his fortune to Leticia. Before Leticia, Sontag had another lover, a woman named Sonia. She tried to trap him by having a child, whom she named Emma. Sontag disowned the child and denied she was his. After his death, Sonia and Emma had tried to challenge the will and Leticia's inheritance but had not been able to produce any proof of their relationship with Sontag. The only visual of Sontag in the show is a photo of him and Leticia which Leticia showed to Commissaire Laurence.
