Crime and Punishment #8

In "On the Level" by C.H. Moore, two detectives investigate a murder by examining skeletal remains found on a farm, ultimately identifying the victim as a soldier through dental records and uniform buttons. The detectives trace the body to a doctor in Washington, D.C., and uncover a connection to a missing person case from years prior, leading them to pursue the truth about the farm's previous owner and the circumstances surrounding the death.
