Ulrika Strömberg is a stunningly beautiful young reporter with attitude who is used to dealing with her looks and her many admirers, with a nose for a great story. Driven, ambitious and dedicated, she will go to almost any length to nail the tale.
Ulrika emerges wet and exhausted on the highway leading East from the hamlet of Tived, close to the Tiveden national park. She is picked up hitchhiking her way back to Stockholm, only getting as far as Gotfrid’s Homestead. Following a lead on a story bringing her to the Tiveden national park, Ulrika’s quest for the truth concerning reporter Leif Johansson and a missing masterpiece of impressionism brings her into the middle of Hasse Almquist‘s investigation into the murder and mutilation of Dane Thomas Denisen.
