Tropiques criminels

A renowned fashion designer is found murdered in his studio. Against the advice of her colleagues, Mélissa insists on taking part in the investigation. She is pregnant, certainly—but not incapacitated. As the investigation stalls, a discovery breathes new life into the case: the victim had reportedly been warned—in minute detail—of his own death... by a famous psychic on the island. Meanwhile, Gaëlle refuses to let go of Jason. To stay close to him, she throws herself into the life of his church.

Aurélien's cousin is found critically injured in her banana plantation by her son. Her employee, however, did not survive the attack. The investigation promises to be delicate: Aurélien is personally affected, and Mélissa—still shaken by her recent miscarriage—is only just getting back on her feet. Etcheverry decides to bring Thaïs onto the case to lend a hand to Mélissa and Gaëlle.

Arnaud abruptly leaves Mélissa's house. Jason, for his part, has refused to speak to Gaëlle since the night they spent together. At that very moment, the lifeless body of a member of a yole team is discovered on a beach. Mélissa and Gaëlle have their hands full—both personally and professionally—as they gradually uncover a conch trafficking ring and the victim's toxic past.
