The Forge in Söderhamn

about 2 h 30 min · 4–5 players

Söderhamn, 9 December 1936. The smith Gustav Ferm is found by the waterwheel of his own forge with a crushed chest and his left arm under the wheel axle. The wedge that holds the wheel lies ten paces away in the snow with a mark from a hammer claw, the December work order shows the forge had more to do than ever, and in the partner's desk drawer lies a letter from the fire insurance company mentioning six thousand kronor. The smith's brother-in-law, the miller in Norrala, held a mortgage on the wheel and was the first to say the wedge works loose by itself. No one at the forge wants to remember who put the work order in the till that evening.
