The Cottage by Hjälmaren

about 4 h · 4–6 players

Odensbacken, 15 September 1957. The clerk Henning Örn is shot through the closed windowpane of his cottage on the point south of Odensbacken, where he sits with his supper and the paraffin lamp lit. The shot came from the shore, the shotgun is gone, and in a boathouse on the opposite point stands a suitcase with a combination lock that has lain untouched since 1937. The witnesses on the road are dead and their records contradict one another, one of them points to the wrong man, and whoever follows the trail straight ahead arrives at a locked lid. The case was set aside in 1958 and has lain untouched until today.
