The scenario of this series which seems to delight viewers of TF1 was imagined by Anne Landois. In an interview with our colleagues from Allociné, the latter confides that it is a pure fiction even if she wanted to be inspired by a famous French news item. "I worked for several years on Gears, for ten years, and I rubbed shoulders with a lot of cops who often told me about the investigations that were unsuccessful. And the unease that it created for them, to fail. failure is something that I never had the opportunity to deal with in Engrenages. So (…) I had the urge to propose a plot with an investigation that did not succeed. starting from a story that has always marked me very much: the disappearance of Estelle Mouzin ", explains Anne Landois.
