Paris, 1899. On the heels of the Dreyfus Affair and the scandalous death of President Félix Faure, the French Republic is reeling from rampant anarchy and the violent rise of extreme-right and anti-Semitic movements. Former police chief Louis Lepine is called out of retirement to restore order… just as a suitcase filled with female body parts is found floating down the Seine. And an ambitious young detective leaps into action, in an attempt to right a few societal wrongs. This elegant, gripping, high-end Canal+ thriller, inspired by historical figures and true events, has been called “the new Spiral.” Murder, blackmail, conspiracies, coups — welcome to the Belle Epoque!
