Delsbo, Hälsingland, 19 May 1889. The farmer Jon Larsson of Norrväna was found hanged from a post in a meadow, and the district sheriff wrote the incident down as suicide. A year and a half later the silence broke, and the former constable Per Mathias Johansson — known as the Knife — confessed that he had killed on commission, at a fixed rate: seventy-five kronor for a woman and at least a hundred for a man. A real case from Swedish legal history: the real investigation, the real interrogations and the real verdict. All those involved have been dead for more than a hundred years, and everything in the file comes from public records — the sources are included with the case.
