The Man in the Cement

about 4 h 15 min · 4–7 players

Los Angeles, 1949. Alton Ridgeway, owner of Ridgeway Materials, was found embedded in the freshly poured cement form at a construction site on Clay Street. Police wrote the death off as a drunk-driving accident and filed the case away in October 1949. Now the white-coated forensic technicians have reopened the file, and a delivery note for a load of cement is still missing. Two witnesses were deposed in 1949 and died: the night watchman at the gravel yard and the cement tester, and the night watchman's son today carries evidence in and out of the police property room. Whoever follows the truck's route straight through ends up at the driver with 02:10 on his own delivery note; the decisive detail lies in a line in the driving log written in different ink and in a sentence about the left hand that appears in three acts.
