La Mante: Story, Cast and Series Facts

In Paris, police search for a psychopath whose murders are inspired by Jeanne Deber, known as "The Mantis", a famous serial killer who terrorised the country 20 years ago. Believing it takes one to know one, the police asks Jeanne Deber to help hunt the copycat.
