A man is found dying in a Washington law office, a red seal in his hand and the wrong people with alibis. Natalie Sumner Lincoln was a capital insider, daughter of a Washington family, and set her mysteries where she lived - among senators, embassy parties and the clerks who know everything. This edition is bound with sixty plates of painting, among them works by James 'Clock' Shaw, Václav Brozík and Harald Slott-Møller, dating from 1795 to 1924.
