Détective Surprenant: The Baron of the Archipelago
Written by Marie-Ève Bourassa andbased on the detective novels by Jean Lemieux, the second season of the series Détective Surprenant, is directed by Yannick Savard.
As spring approaches, the body of Charlot Boudreau, a resident of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, is found in a pawn shop in Verdun. The investigation is entrusted to Lieutenant Detective Gingras, now with Major Crimes, who calls on Surprenant to interview the victim’s relatives who remain on Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine. Surprenant agrees, which quickly leads him to Claude Goyette, nicknamed “the Baron,” an influential and respected figure in the archipelago. But everything changes one night during Mi-Carême, a traditional island festival marked by masks and mystery: the Baron is murdered by a costumed figure. Convinced that this is not a mere coincidence, Surprenant is determined to uncover the link between the two murders.
As the investigation progresses, Goyette’s image as a benefactor begins to crack, revealing a world of secrets, betrayals, and family rivalries where every relative becomes a suspect. Caught between his duties, his feelings, and shocking revelations, Surprenant must shed light on the dark corners of the archipelago to solve a case where no one is truly what they seem.

Détective Surprenant: The girl with the stone eyes
Written by Marie-Ève Bourassa and Maureen Martineau, and based on the detective novels by Jean Lemieux, the first season of the series Détective Surprenant, is directed by Yannick Savard. Detective Sergeant André Surprenant takes charge of reporting the disappearance of Rosalie Richard, daughter of the mayor of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, even if this forces him to cancel his vacation, a few hours before his departure. The teenager’s body is found the next day in a sordid scene that sets the entire village in turmoil.
Accustomed to investigating road accidents and minor crimes, the Cap-aux-Meules police officers are overwhelmed by the violence of the crime. Surprenant, who worked in major crimes in Montréal, leads his inexperienced team with tact. However, he learns that the investigation is entrusted to chief inspector Sébastien Gingras, an arrogant rival dispatched from Québec City. Tension quickly rises between the two men as the investigation becomes more complex and the list of suspects grows. Fortunately, Surprenant can count on his colleague, Geneviève Savoie, to help him elucidate the murder.
