When the Norwegian realty magnate Axel Krogh is found brutaly murdered in his home in the French
Riviera, investigator Bogart Bull is sent from Oslo to help with the investigation.
The motive for the murder is unclear. The walls of Kroghs mansion is covered with art worth millions, but the murderer has just stolen one picture. A small, seemingly insignificant painting, signed with the number seven.
