The premeditated Death of Samuel Glover is a mystery story because it tells Sam is going to die at the beginning of the story and it doesn't tell why he's going to die in the story. Sam and his friend were good friends, they walked home in the same direction for eight years. Then one day Sam tells his friend he's going to die on a curtain street, he puzzle's his friend. On the odd day on the street he's going to die on, a taxi hits Sam and crushed his head. The next day, the taxi company lawyer came to see his friend at his house, asked him a couple questions about the death of Samuel Glover and he told him it wasn't the taxi driver's fault.
