Masters and Green are called upon once more to save the local police from potential scandal.When old Mrs Carlow dies of, seemingly, a self-administered overdose of her prescribed medicine, digitalis, local officials are most awkwardly placed. The tangle of family intermarrying in the small county town of Croxley is such that Mrs Carlow’s doctor, her solicitor, the coroner and the police chief are all related to her—and of course to each other. And thus the Yard is called in, and our old friends Chief Superintendent Masters and Chief Inspector Green are soon having to tread delicately in an enquiry in which several of their important witnesses and colleagues are possible suspects.Yet it still seems highly likely that the self-willed, arrogant old woman had unintentionally caused her own death. It wouldn’t be the first time that she had planned a faked attempt at suicide, to distress her relatives. But if so, how could she have obtained the overdose, now that her doctor was meticulously rationing her medicine? And if not, how had the overdose been administered?

In the numerous surveys that rank American presidents, George Washington consistently ranks near the top. His peers as the nation’s greatest presidents are typically Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and FDR’s distant cousin, Theodore Roosevelt. However, no other president faced the challenges that the nation’s first commander in chief encountered, both in and outside of the executive office. When Washington was born, colonial America was still under British rule. Few, if any, had notions of independence. Even when war against Britain was imminent, those firmly on the side of putting an end to British rule were in the minority. Yet, by the time Washington was in his 20s, America was on its way to creating its own nation, even if Great Britain had yet to acknowledge the movement that was underway. When rumblings about breaking free from the Crown began to be felt throughout the colonies, Washington was at the forefront. Before he was president, Washington proved himself on the battlefield in the French and Indian War to such a degree that he was eventually given command of the Virginia Regiment. He learned his lessons well and understood that the traditions of European warfare would not work in the backwoods of America. When the time came for the colonies to unite and strike for independence, Washington not only led the Continental Army, he created it. After that fight was won, he shocked the world be relinquishing the power that many felt rightly belonged to him and resigned his commission. The farm life of Mount Vernon in his native Virginia called to him, as it would time and again. However, when his country called for him, he was there for it, too. There was likely never a president more reluctant than the nation’s first. He doubted that he had the skills required to create the standards of the office, understanding that each decision would be historical in its own way. Despite those doubts, he approached the task with a balance of authority and restraint, setting the course for the presidency that is recognizable even in modern times. The country revered him and his leadership so much that it never fully accepted his second – and final – retirement from public life. Even as he was on his deathbed, the request that he consider a third term as president of the United States was being drafted. As a man and a Southern plantation owner, Washington also set standards to be matched. While it is true that he owned slaves, as was the norm for the era, he grew troubled with the notion of human bondage over time. When he made arrangements to free his slaves upon his death, he set the stage for other political leaders of his era to follow suit, although they did not do so. Of course, Washington was not without fault. He had expectations for others that they often struggled to meet and he was seemingly perpetually in debt due to his own spending habits. Still, none of Washington’s faults or failures detract from what he accomplished. He seemed to be aware that he was making history with every step, although it is likely that even he could not predict the ongoing interest in his life and the reverence that Americans continue to have for the country’s first president.
