Uppsala The Letter from 1702
Historian Karin Ullberg is found dead on a bench by Gunillaklockan, the day before Uppsala unveils a statue of the student who woke the town when it burned in 1702. She had discovered that part of the town’s history is built on a lie, and the letter she was carrying is gone.
How the case begins
Just after six this morning, as the Gunillaklockan bell rang out on Slottsbacken, a jogger found the historian Karin Ullberg dead on a bench. The police’s first assessment is that her heart stopped. Karin had a heart condition. But yesterday she told a friend that an important part of Uppsala’s history is built on a lie, and the letter she was carrying last night is gone. Tomorrow, Saturday 16 May, exactly 324 years to the day after the great fire, a statue will be unveiled of Petrus Ekblad, the student who, according to a letter from 1702, woke the town as it burned. Find out what Karin had discovered and who was prepared to kill to keep it from coming out. Examine every find carefully. Nobody is going to explain them to you.
