Description
In the autumn of 2009, Dr. Harold Marsh, the only dentist in the small town of Milledgeville, Iowa, discovered something he shouldn't have while fixing a leak under his office sink. A human jawbone, still holding teeth, wrapped in a yellowed cloth. The serial numbers etched into the bone led him to a name he recognized: a patient who had died thirty years ago, whose death certificate listed a closed-casket funeral and a cause of death the coroner had refused to write down. As Dr. Marsh dug deeper, he found that the bone wasn't the only thing hidden in the walls of his practice. This is the story of a man who learned that some secrets are better left unburied, and the night he decided to set things right.
