We meet again :-)
This reminds me of Dorothy Sayers' short story The Incredible Elopement of Lord Peter Wimsey.
Fascinating read, look it up...
A jealous MD married to a young woman with thyroid deficiency takes her to a foreign country and starves her of iodine to get revenge. Lord Peter Wimsey to the rescue!
(Also manages to work in quotes from Homer in the original Greek and a mention of Saint-Saens' Dance Macabre...)
Cheers!
Well howdy. Bookmarked & saved. Thanx. There's one copy of the book in my state's library system & it's not at a local branch. Ordering a book takes about a month. grrrr However, it is one of the libraries I want see. I'll have to check it out.
That's really funny. This news story made me think of Lord Peter, also!
