Just Sarah Croche: She's the one causing all the chaos.
Some people are born with a talent. Others with a passion. Sarah Croche was born with a curse: the involuntary ability to turn any normal situation into a historic disaster.
After accidentally leveling part of her previous precinct, brilliant but structurally hazardous police investigator Sarah Croche receives a dead-end disciplinary transfer. Destination: Saint-Bordel-sur-Mer, a decaying, rain-drenched coastal town where the local police chief manages his severe burnout by compulsively eating therapeutic Camembert, and the municipal officers have long since abandoned all forms of human logic.
Sarah promises to keep a low profile. Naturally, she blows up a squad car on her first day.
But when a dead body is discovered in the parking lot of the local supermarket, Sarah's sharp instincts kick in. What starts as a surreal local mess-featuring an aggressive PR stunt involving a man dressed as a dolphin and a highly organized crime syndicate run entirely by local seagulls-slowly uncovers a very real, cold-blooded smuggling ring controlled by the local elite.
To solve the case, Sarah will have to navigate political bribery, a massive harbor fire, and an inept intern who keeps getting trapped in vending machines. The town might not survive her investigation, but then again... justice was never meant to be quiet.
An explosive, razor-sharp, and laugh-out-loud satirical thriller where classic noir meets total, beautiful chaos.
