Summary

A late‑night call sends Commander Pierre Lemaire to a quiet address in Montpellier. A man lies dead in his study. The team secures the rooms and garden while Lemaire documents the scene and begins routine interviews with the spouse and staff.

Over the next day he cross‑checks statements against times and movements, building a precise timeline piece by piece. What emerges is not an answer but a direction: a careful, methodical portrait of an investigation in motion, carrying the reader to the threshold of the next step.
