## Snapshot

A veteran French detective whose patient logic and private obsession with Arsène Lupin make him the one pursuer Lupin never quite shakes.

## Who they are

Ganimard works the d'Hautrec murder scene with methodical questions, dismantling alibis while his colleagues chase theories. He lacks the flash of a Dupin, but his independence and intuition earn him a seat at the magistrate's table. His long fascination with Lupin gives the investigation a personal edge that the Englishman's cold reasoning lacks.
