Anna meets you in the reading room at Rigsarkivet at two in the afternoon, between a school group and a retired historian. She is forty-five, precise, and she looks at you the way people look at someone who has brought weather into the room.

"I need access to the Defence Intelligence Service collection," you tell her. "Pre-1990. Specifically anything under the identifier PROTOKOL-CPH."

Her expression does not change but something behind her eyes does. "That collection is restricted. Parliamentary authorisation required."

"I know. I am asking you to help me anyway."

A long pause. The school group moves into the next room. "Someone else asked about that collection three days ago," she says quietly. "Came in with full authorisation. Government letterhead, everything correct. He photographed forty pages on his phone before I was informed he had been there." She pauses. "The authorisation was forged. We only found out yesterday."

She slides a visitor log across the reading table. The name on the forged authorisation: E. Lindqvist.
