In the midst of the Hundred Years War, a young and uncertain King Henry V defeats the French but learns that victory takes its toll in bloodshed.

In the first series, Inspector Maigret's wife prods him to take a vacation. But there is no time to relax when a jewel thief is shot, and the only suspect is his mistress. Other mysteries involve a burglar who sees a murder during a break-in, a teacher at odds with an entire village, an elderly woman whose schemes are mistaken for lunacy, and a serial killer targeting young women in Montmartre.
