A Case Of Mice And Murder

The Inner Temple, 1901: a warren of shaded courtyards and ancient buildings that has formed the heart of legal London for hundreds of years. A place where tradition is everything, the police enter only by consent, and murder is only to be found in the case archives. Until now.

Today, the dead body of the Lord Chief Justice of England, immaculately clad in evening dress except for his bare feet, is lying on his doorstep, with one of the silver Temple carving knives sticking out of his chest. Gabriel Ward KC is coerced into taking charge of the investigation.

Paired with the eager young Constable Wright, he must draw on every bit of his legal training to solve the case. The first in a brand new series introducing a wonderfully eccentric sleuth. Wydawcą jest Bloomsbury.
