The Blast Furnace at Marbacka

On the night of 14 April 1896, furnace master Johan Vinge was found dead on the floor in front of the blast furnace at Marbacka ironworks, in the middle of a strike that had split the works town in two. The head wound was written off as dizziness and heat, and the case lay dormant for five years. When the papers from the bankruptcy auction are brought out again, they are not in order: a payroll ledger pays dead men, the night watchman has bolted a door he should not have had the key to, and at the edge of the crime-scene photograph lie prints that no one in the furnace house wore. The two who saw him that evening were deposed and died before the case was reopened.
