Malmöhus Castle, 19 September 1837. In the fortress courtyard, the prison's superintendent, paymaster Hans Canon, falls to two inmates' homemade knives — before the prisoners ordered to watch. The perpetrators are two of the institution's hardest convicts, and the investigation must determine what was revenge, what was drunkenness, and what was plan. A real case from Swedish legal history: the real investigation, the real knives, and the real verdict. Everyone involved died long ago, and everything in the file comes from public records — the sources accompany the case.
