The Brothers by the River

about 4 h · 4–6 players

Hälsingland in June 1979. The Norén brothers ran the dairy farm by the river together, until the morning after Midsummer's Day, when Hjalmar Norén was found dead under the tractor out in the hayfield. The neighbours called it an accident, and the funeral was held before anyone had a chance to ask questions. Three years later, the farm's paper archive lies open: a rotary-dial telephone, a loan ledger in a chest with a combination lock, and a letter that was never posted. The witnesses along the road are dead and their records do not agree, and whoever follows the tool straight ahead gets the wrong man. Which of the six on the farm and in the village made sure the tractor stood out in the hayfield?
