Poison in the Shadows: A Washington Wickedness

November 12, 1933, will be etched in the memories of the Carew family and their acquaintances in Washington, D.C. forever. It began innocently enough: a business deal that seemed to be on the verge of fruition, with Mr. Carew poised to acquire a significant stake in a prominent business house. The money was to be provided by none other than his wife, Mrs. Carew. But fate had other plans. Mr. Carew suddenly fell ill, sending shockwaves through the family. Despite his doctor, the esteemed physician Dr. Wheeler, initially downplaying the severity of the situation, Mrs. Carew’s anxiety was palpable. When Mr. Carew’s condition worsened, she requested a consultation with another physician, and the two medical professionals were left perplexed by the patient’s baffling symptoms: an unquenchable thirst and severe internal pains.
