THE TOOTH AND THE NAIL

As 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. The crime scene is obvious, and 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…

THE WIFE OF THE RED-HAIRED MAN

When Hugh Ronan escapes prison and returns to his first love, Mercedes, he finds her married to another man. Turner has no intention of giving up his wife and brandishes a gun to make his point. But it’s Turner who is killed, and now Ronan and Mercedes are on the run. Mercedes could have stayed and escaped the murder charge, but she makes her choice to help her red-haired love escape. Cashing out her bank account and taking her jewels with her, the two of them leave New York. But Turner had his fingers in a lot of political pies, and important people want this killing solved. Everyone figures that it must have been Mercedes who shot her husband. Only one city detective figures that there is someone else involved. Now the hunt is on.
