Suspicion it seems to Detective Ulf Varg is everywhere. Even he a respected police officer
is not beyond its grip. Not when it comes to things he loves such as his dog Martin whose
bizarre scuffle with a troublesome squirrel has resulted in a sequence of perhaps unwise
decisions on Varg's part. Along with this frustrating predicament Varg continues to have
existential matters on his mind. His hopeless feelings for his colleague Anna. His particular
place in the world. His increasing desire to open his mind to certain relationships including
that with his professional partner Blomquist whose flaws are often overshadowed by his
loyalty and kindness along with his impressive investigative work. Together they have been
assigned to get to the bottom of a sensitive crime that has occurred in Sweden's esteemed art
community. The highly regarded art historian and expert Anders Kindgren has either wrongly
identified a valuable work or he has been framed for the mistake. Fingers point in several
directions and their investigations lead Varg and Blomquist into a maze of motives
infidelities and suspicion at every turn. The eventual truth of the case as with many
sensitive crimes lies not in greed nor ambition but in love itself. Sometimes Varg realises
we are compelled to put love first even if that means angering or hurting others. Or in the
case of Martin testing the very limits of the law.
