When ???ttar Karlsson, a wealthy and respected government official and businessman, is found murdered, after failing to turn up at his own surprise birthday party, the police are at a loss. It isn't until young police officer Sigurd???s finds a well-hidden safe in his impersonal luxury apartment that clues start emerging. As ???ttar's shady business dealings become clear, a second, unexpected line of enquiry emerges, when Sigurd???s finds a US phone number in the safe, along with papers showing regular money transfers to an American account.
