The Art of Crime
Series Overview
Fired for insubordination, PJ Antoine Verlay, good cop but a blood strand and having difficulty working as a team, is attached to the OCBC (Central Office for the fight against Traffic in Cultural Goods) thanks to the intervention of the commander Pardo, his friend who becomes, therefore, his new superior. A clever investigator, but a stranger to everything related to culture, Antoine will have to work with Florence Chassagne, renowned art historian, who lives, speaks and breathes culture, to the point that - fruit of her great imagination - it happens to her in the midst of daydreams, to see and talk to the great artists who have disappeared as if they were familiar to her.

Season 9, Episode 2: “The Oath of David”
At the Grévin Museum in Paris, a historian specialising in the painter Jacques-Louis David is found murdered in the bathtub of the revolutionary Marat, a scene that replicates the master's famous painting. To unmask the murderer, Antoine Verlay and Florence Chassagne must infiltrate a symposium of art historians by posing as a couple. A cover that could well create new tensions between them. Or, on the contrary, bring them closer together...
