The Auction House in Hammarnäs

about 4 h 15 min · 4–6 players

Hammarnäs, 13 November 1993. The auctioneer Egil Norrback, who ran the town's auction house together with his valuer, was found dead on the floor of the house's vault the morning after the winter auction, with the auction gavel under a packing cloth twelve steps away. No one was arrested and the house was closed down; in 1996 the file is reopened by a new lead investigator. What remains of the evening is an alarm that was armed at 21:40, a phone call to Stockholm at 21:10 and a backing board that someone cut loose from its frame. The question is not who was in the house, but who painted what was sold.
