There he crosses paths with Clement Mansell, aka The Oklahoma Wildman, a violent, sociopathic desperado who's already slipped through the fingers of Detroit's finest once and aims to do so again.

A photo of Agatha Christie's criminal games : the '70s.

Agatha Christie's criminal games : the '70s.

In Agatha Christie's Criminal Games: The '70s, the newest French TV adaptation of her novels, collars are wide, sunglasses are huge, and flares are everywhere. Captain Annie Gréco is the Lille police department's first female captain, and chauvinism is ever present even as she runs circles around her hapless male underlings. She's partnered with the unlikely Max Beretta, who was marooned in the archives after some hothead behavior following a perceived slight by a colleague. He's always a hair-trigger away from throwing a punch (or worse), but he's observant and motivated. Rose Bellacour rounds out the mismatched trio as a gifted amateur psychologist. Her outfits may scream peak '70s fashion, but her mind is built for a more modern age. The '70s are arguably the fourth major character in the series, with richly decorated sets in tones of orange and brown, vintage cars, and a distinctly psychedelic feel accompanying each mystery.
