...slapped with a staggering fine and forbidden to drive. In debt for tobacco, rent, and worst of all, for coffin lumber, he limps through one hand-mangling day heaving shovelfuls of earth for a huge industrial corporation-and gets fired for incompetence.

But the Coke bottle never turned up, a palm print of Powers found in Mossler's kitchen could have been days old, and a bloody handprint on Mossler's body was unidentifiable.
