The Case of the Hidden Dentures is the second in the series of John Braemhor mysteries. While assisting his son with house renovations in the city of New Boston, John Braemhor, a retired Scottish policeman, finds a set of dentures in a wall behind a medicine cabinet. That discovery and the disappearance of the previous owner of the house leads him down a path of intrigue and mystery that involves secret codes, murder, smuggling, and attempted assassinations, all cloaked in deeply troubling psychological relationships. As in The Strange Case of Mr. Nobody (the first in the series), Braemhor attacks the mysteries with his superior deductive powers and policeman's bulldog-like tenacity, breaking the codes, solving the murders, thwarting the smuggling operation, and resolving the underlying psychological dynamics.
