THE TOOTH AND THE NAILs the trial begins, a man stands accused of murder. There is no body, but all the signs of a body’s disposal are in evidence. When the police search the accused man’s house, they find traces of blood in the bathroom, and a hastily-cleaned up furnace room, where it appears a body had recently been burned—there is burnt part of a leg bone, a false tooth, and off in a corner, the end of a finger. And the man’s chauffeur, who appears to have been blackmailing him, is clearly missing, now presumed dead. The prosecutor is presenting a very good case. Every indication points to murder. The defense lawyer is doing what he can, but his client’s cause appears to be hopeless. Only one man knows what really happened, and he’s the victim.
