- Description: A tax inspector, a frozen harbour town and a set of accounts that don’t add up. A slow-burn mystery with a wonderfully dry narrator.

An inspector arrives in a frozen harbour town to audit a fish cannery and finds that the numbers balance perfectly. That is the problem.

Arvid's narrator is so dry that the jokes take a second to arrive. The mystery burns slowly, and the solution is hidden in plain sight on page forty.
