(Edward) The Missing Link Produced by Peter O'Connell "The Missing Link" by Edward Dyson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Nicholas Crips, a cunning and somewhat unscrupulous character referred to as "Nickie the Kid." As a con artist, he uses his charm and wit to navigate through various misadventures, including selling dubious medicinal concoctions to unsuspecting customers and later impersonating a Missing Link at a traveling show. The opening of the book introduces us to Nickie the Kid, who is depicted as a slick, resourceful character working the streets with his so-called healing mixtures. Nickie has a distinctive approach to life, often beguiling women for comforts while evading hard labor. In his wanderings, he encounters humorous situations, including a fateful interaction with a pair of farmers which showcases his persuasive skills amid the chaos of his petty schemes. After a series of escapades, including one involving a sensational show, Nickie finds himself donning the guise of a Missing Link for a dubious exhibition. The narrative sets the stage for a rollicking exploration of identity, deception, and the unpredictable nature of life.
