Salamander is a Belgian crime drama television series, created by and based upon the novel by Bavo Dhooge, that was first broadcast on Eén on 30 December 2012.

[1] The twelve-part series, produced by Skyline Entertainment and written by Ward Hulselmans, stars Filip Peeters as Inspector Paul Gerardi,[2] a Belgian detective who investigates the theft of sixty-six safety deposit boxes belonging to prominent Belgian figures.

Jonkhere, a small private bank in Brussels, is robbed and 66 safe deposit boxes belonging to a number of the most prominent public figures in Belgium are cleaned out.

This is a cabal of the country's industrial, financial, judicial and political elite; the safe-deposit boxes contained secrets as far back as World War II.

[8] Ben Lawrence of The Daily Telegraph gave the first two episodes three stars out of five and called its plot "compelling".
