La Mi-carême

Surprenant agrees to help Gingras solve the murder of a man from the Magdalen Islands found dead in Verdun. The investigation leads him to Martine Boudreau, the victim's cousin and ex-partner of Claude "the Baron" Goyette, a patron of the arts who is as influential as he is enigmatic. Surprenant meets the Baron and his entourage as they prepare for the mysterious Mid-Lent masked ball. Asselin reveals information to Surprenant that hits him hard, concerning a joint operation with the Gaspé police station.
