The Butchered Truth

A severed finger in a premium sausage. Just another day at the factory... until it isn't.Marius prides himself on order, efficiency, and keeping things running smoothly at The Cleaver & Crown, Oakhaven's most prestigious-if slightly unsettling-meat factory. As Assistant Manager, he knows every process, every employee, and every possible thing that could go wrong.Or so he thought.When a human finger turns up in a batch of sausages, what should have been a routine quality-control issue quickly spirals into something far more sinister. With production halted, reputations on the line, and whispers of sabotage spreading faster than gossip in a small town, Marius finds himself at the centre of a potential murder investigation.The problem? The local police are worse than useless.Driven by equal parts irritation and necessity, Marius takes matters into his own hands. As he digs deeper into the factory's inner workings, he uncovers a tangled web of secrets, grudges, and suspicious behaviour among his colleagues-including people he thought he knew.With the formidable Aga watching closely and the future of The Cleaver & Crown hanging in the balance, Marius must navigate deception, dark humour, and a trail that's anything but clean.Because in Oakhaven, nothing stays buried for long... especially not in the sausage mix.Perfect for fans of darkly comic mysteries, small-town secrets, and reluctant amateur sleuths.
