Yellow Bird
When criminal reporter Annika Bengtzon covers the annual Nobel Banquet for her tabloid newspaper Kvällspressen, she witnesses a dramatic murder by a mysterious woman wearing a gold lamé dress.
Caroline von Behring, Chairman of the Karolinska Nobel Committee, is shot twice in the chest on the dance floor and dies almost immediately. Her dancing partner Professor Wiesel, a controversial Laureate of Medicine, is rushed to hospital in a critical condition. Meanwhile, the murderer disappears into the night in a speedboat on the glacial waters of Stockholm. Annika finds herself a key witness to the murder and is banned from writing about it by the police. She is therefore unable to tell the story of a lifetime as one of the most high profile crimes in recent Swedish history unfolds.
A terrorist group with connections to the Middle East quickly accepts responsibility for the murder, but Annika is convinced that the attack was directed at Caroline von Behring, not at the Israeli Professor Wiesel. Her journalist's instincts can't be contained for long as Annika begins a dangerous investigation into the inner workings and power struggles within the closed circle of the Nobel Committee. As Annika gets closer to the truth, the situation becomes increasingly perilous as she uncovers a plot with deadly high stakes. She soon understands how far some people are willing to go to get the most prestigious prize of them all and that the truth indeed can be deadly.
