Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Tullikavaltajia" by Väinö Kataja is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a rural landscape where winter is approaching, specifically along the banks of the Tornionjoki River, and revolves around the life of the cunning and resourceful protagonist, Palomäen Santeri. As he engages in smuggling activities across the Finnish-Swedish border, the novel explores themes of risk, deception, and the challenges posed by vigilant customs officials. The opening of "Tullikavaltajia" introduces us to the cold autumn environment as Santeri observes the river beginning to freeze, which signifies a shift in his illicit activities. Santeri is portrayed as a clever but cautious man who reflects on his past successes in smuggling goods, feeling the tension of increased scrutiny from customs agents. The initial chapter establishes his motivations and the precarious nature of his life, as he prepares for upcoming ventures while tension subtly builds around the changing circumstances regarding border control. As he interacts with his wife and associates, a sense of looming danger pervades, laying the foundation for the intrigue and action that promises to develop throughout the rest of the story.
