In the night of February 24 to 25, 2000, 37 paintings by fine painter Henk Helmantel were stolen from his private museum in Westeremden, North Groningen. The recently appointed Groningen police chief Bernard Welten wants to solve the art theft at all costs. An elite team of police officers and detectives is formed. They call themselves The Hedgehog Team, named after one of the stolen works. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game with many phone calls, ransom demands, threats, cryptic advertisements in newspapers and much more, ultimately leading to a successful conclusion of the case: all paintings are recovered.
