Synopsis

Captain Paul Darac of the Brigade Criminelle is called to a potential crime scene - an elderly woman found dead in her hot tub. At first it's assumed that she died of natural causes, but a surprising link with Darac's own life leads him to dig deeper. In doing so he uncovers disturbing proof that there may have been a motive to murder the woman, and there is no shortage of suspects.The investigation leads him from the world of fine art to the desperate poverty of the city's high-rises. But it is among the winding streets of his own neighbourhood in Nice's old town, the Babazouk, that Darac faces his severest test yet.
