Read Now Download Now
It's become complicated for Wendover, and he turns to Sir Clinton Driffield, the local Chief Constable, for advice.

Wendover is actually right. It is complicated. He's the sole executer of the estate of John Ashby who died 15 years earlier. Due to sad circumstances which became even sadder, the only heir was Ashby's grandson Robin Ashby who, on the day of his majority, his 21st birthday, died of diabetes. Insulin had not yet been discovered. Then a will in favour of his nurse showed up. Wendover's question to Driffield? Is the will valid?

Librarian's note #1: this is Connington's only Driffield short story. He wrote 17 novels featuring him between 1927 and 1947.

Librarian's note #2: the short story is one of 16 in the collection, 'Bodies from the Library' published in 2018 by Collins Crime Club.
