Berggruen’s collection with more than one hundred masterpieces is a spectacular tribute to the foresight of this major player in the Paris art market during the second half of the twentieth century. Born into a Jewish family in Berlin in 1914, he went into exile in California on the eve of World War II. He became art critic for the San Francisco Chronicle and assistant to the director of the San Francisco MoMA. After the war, Berggruen returned to Europe, first to Munich as a journalist, then to Paris where he worked at the UNESCO headquarters before becoming an art dealer specialized in the graphic arts of modern artists. He quickly established contacts within the Parisian cultural scene, meeting both the artists he would represent and the poets, dealers, historians, critics, and collectors of the day. Guided by his personal tastes, he built a solid collection of twentieth-century works now housed at the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin spanning the careers of Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee and including Henri Matisse’s collages and Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures. The vast ensemble was exhibited at the Orangerie in 2024 and is housed in the Berggruen Museum/Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin.

Año 2000. En Oslo aparece en plena calle el cadáver degollado de un viejo militante nazi. Harry Hole, que tras cometer un grave error ha sido reasignado a los servicios secretos, percibe los puntos en común entre este crimen y el contenido de un informe de los muchos documentos aburridos que pasan por sus manos a diario: alguien compró un rifle Märklin, un arma extremadamente cara y precisa usada por grupos neonazis.
Harry Hole tratará de averiguar cuál es la relación entre estos dos casos y se percatará de que el origen de todo puede remontarse mucho tiempo atrás, a lo sucedido entre un grupo de soldados noruegos durante el sitio de Leningrado en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Pero, ¿qué vínculo puede haber entre lo sucedido hace tantos años y ese personaje misterioso apodado «El Príncipe» al que apuntan todas las averiguaciones policiales sobre el tráfico de armas?
