Ein frühmittelalterliches Schwert wird aus dem Finnischen Nationalmuseum in Helsinki gestohlen. Nur wenig später findet man den für die Ausgrabung des Schwerts verantwortlichen Archäologieprofessor, Lasse Halvari, brutal ermordet auf. Zufall?
Toivo Salonen, ehemaliger Student und Mitarbeiter Halvaris, mag daran nicht glauben. Ein zweiter Mord, diesmal an einem seiner früheren Kommilitonen, reißt ihn unversehens aus seinem Alltag…

How do ordinary people experience and make sense of the informal justice system? Drawing on original data with British and German users of Ombudsmen— an important institution of informal justice, Naomi Creutzfeldt offers a nuanced comparative answer to this question. In so doing, she takes current debates on procedural justice and legal consciousness forward. This book explores consciousness around ‘alternatives’ to formal legality and asks how situated assumptions about law and fairness guide people's understandings of the informal justice system. Creutzfeldt shows that the everyday relationship that people have with the informal justice system is shaped by their experiences and expectations of the formal legal system and its agents. This book is an innovative theoretical and empirical statement about the future prospects for informal justice in Europe.
