| Summary |
"Prinssi ja kaunis näyttelijätär: Salapoliisikertomus" by Sven Elvestad is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around two detectives, Harald Brede and Asbjörn Krag, who find themselves in a seemingly uneventful period in Kristiania, where they yearn for an intriguing case. Their routine changes when they receive unsettling news about a notorious criminal's escape, which thrusts them into an unexpected investigation that links to impending royal visits and shadowy figures. At the start of the story, Brede and Krag are introduced in a quiet police office, discussing the monotony of their work until they catch wind of an air of mystery surrounding a criminal named Leo Carsten. This initial conversation sets the stage for their next steps and leads them to a curious case involving a heavy bass fiddle found at sea, which may harbor sinister secrets. As the detectives investigate further, they unearth connections between an anarchist actress, Rosa Brenner, a looming royal visit, and possible threats linked to the recent escape of Carsten, hinting at a deeper conspiracy waiting to unfold.
