Nathan Joliez est associé minoritaire au sein d’une entreprise de location de yacht de luxe, dont l’actionnaire principal est Marc Livi,
Mais les deux hommes ne s’entendent plus depuis longtemps… notamment depuis que Livi vit en couple avec l'ex-femme de Nathan.
Nathan n’a pas le choix : il décide de supprimer Marc avant que celui-ci ne l'exclue de l'entreprise qu'ils ont créée ensemble.
Il organise alors tout pour faire croire à une machination contre lui.
En effet, lorsque le corps est retrouvé, tout l’accuse… et pourtant : Nathan a un alibi. A l’heure du meurtre, Il ne pouvait tout simplement pas être sur le lieu du crime.
Alors ? Comment Agnès va-t-elle parvenir à prouver qu’il a bien commis ce meurtre ?
If you just finished Season 11 of Meurtres à..., you probably already know what makes this French crime anthology special. Each feature-length episode is a self-contained murder mystery set somewhere in France, and the killing is always tied to a local festival, monument or legend. Season 11 was one of the most varied runs the collection has had, mixing seaside tension, Provençal tradition, rugby-mad southern pride and First World War memory. Here's our debrief of what worked, what stayed with us and what the season suggests about the show's future.
Les Sables-d'Olonne: a strong, salty opening
The season opened on the Atlantic coast with "Meurtres aux Sables-d'Olonne" (also known as "Le Vent des sables"). The story is built around the Vendée Globe, the solo round-the-world sailing race. As skipper Yannick Berthomé gets ready to leave, his sponsor Théodore Milard is knocked out, tied up and thrown into the sea. When the company's lawyer, Patrick Vernet, is killed the same way, Captain Judith Kamara and Lieutenant Olivier Finet (played by Marc Samuel) of the Angers SRPJ realise they're dealing with a pattern. The episode is a good example of the Meurtres à... formula. The setting isn't just scenery: the money, ego and sponsorship behind elite sailing are what drive the mystery.
