Crime
A team of detectives from the Paris criminal brigade investigates at 36, Quai des Orfèvres. At the head of the group is Commander Françoise Galliot, an authoritative woman who appears very cold but is in reality fragile. Under her command are Captain Jean-Louis Scandella, her second-in-command and close friend; Commander Michel Lemarchand, the group’s procedural expert; Captain Paul Moreau, Scandella’s best friend; Lieutenant Alexandre Siskowski, the youngest of the men and also the most sensitive; and Lieutenant Caroline Tessier, a young woman from an aristocratic background and the newest recruit.
