| Summary |
"Murhattu urkkija: Salapoliisiromaani" by Sven Elvestad is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The book introduces private investigator Asbjörn Krag, who becomes embroiled in a complex case involving a theft and potential murder connected to a mysterious noblewoman, Countess Orloff. As Krag interacts with various suspicious characters, including two American businessmen, the story uncovers layers of deception within the glamorous circles they inhabit. The opening of the novel sets the stage for intrigue as Krag meets Anders Anderson and John Inderdale, who seek his help after a valuable necklace is supposedly stolen from Countess Orloff during a dinner at their apartment. The urgency of their situation draws Krag into their world, where he quickly becomes wary of their intentions. As the plot unfolds, details begin to emerge about a red-haired man who may hold the key to the theft and potentially more sinister events, including a murder that happens shortly thereafter. Krag's sharp instincts and investigative skills will be crucial as he navigates the tangle of truths and lies presented by these characters to uncover the real story behind the theft and the circumstances surrounding the Countess.
