A Lapse in Judgment

Script by - Art by

Any resemblance to persons living or dead or actual events would be
strangely coincidental… In a town in the east of France, Sylvestre
Ruppert-Levansky, a president of the circuit court, begins his last
trial, in the same place his career began. Everything here reminds him
of Rachel, his first love, and most of all, Mathilde, a manipulative,
diabolic serial killer. The old magistrate has a spotless reputation. He
is considered tolerant and fair. But then a police officer from his
past asks to see him. Perhaps the legend of Sylvestre, the eminent
judge, isn’t so cut and dry… In a gripping tale full of surprises,
Denis Robert and Franck Biancarelli reinvent the thriller.
