When Munch manages to find her with the help of Aurélien and Gaspar, they are stunned to discover she has been accused of murdering her mother-in-law.

Le procès
The Trial - Munch takes on the case of Paul Kentz, a brilliant and philanthropic businessman in the internet business who has been accused of killing his wife.
