Vrai ou faux
Summary
Alors que la détective Maud Graham commence à réaliser que ses parents se fragilisent, elle est appelée à enquêter sur le meurtre de Lydia Francœur, la secrétaire de la résidence des Cèdres. Dans cet univers apparemment paisible, Maud et ses collègues de l’équipe d’enquêteurs du Service de police de la Ville de Québec font face à des obstacles inhabituels. Si ces policiers chevronnés savent composer avec la dissimulation et la manipulation, ils sont beaucoup moins familiers avec le flou, la frustration et la détresse découlant des problèmes liés au vieillissement. Il leur faudra rivaliser de détermination et d’humanité pour parvenir à reconstituer le fil des événements entourant la mort tragique d’une femme qu’on croyait aimée de tous.
