The beginning of "The Crime of the Man Who Smiled" with Chief Inspector "Kurt Vlander" who suffers from a personal and professional crisis after killing a fugitive during his pursuit; then, he decided to leave work in the "Yestad" police force forever. At that time, a friend of his was killed, who had asked "Vlander" to investigate his father's death, which he believed was murder. "Vlander" returns to the police, and is assisted by "Ann Brett," the first female investigator in the department, in an attempt to penetrate the "smiling" facade of the main suspect, a wealthy multinational businessman.
