The Prize of Silence

Eighteen women come forward in Sweden's largest newspaper and reveal that they were sexually assaulted by a man tied to the Swedish Academy, the institution in charge of awarding the Nobel Prize for Literature.

As the scandal breaks, a journalist wonders why no-one reacted when he tried to expose Jean-Claude Arnault almost 20 years previously. Does anyone want to acknowledge that he's a sexual predator?

How journalist Matilda Gustavsson meticulously prepared her exposé is revealed. We also meet one of the women seduced by Jean-Claude Arnault, a woman who later discovered something horrific.

A war rages between two factions within the Swedish Academy as they respond to having a sexual predator in their midst. Meanwhile, Jean-Claude Arnault is charged with two counts of rape.
