Publisher's Summary:
In this engaging collection of stories, Rumpole continues to deftly juggle the vagaries of law, the ambiguities of crime, and the contradictions of the human heart in his death-defying performances on behalf of justice. The irreverent, claret-swilling, poetry-spouting barrister takes on suspect connoisseurs in the art world, journeys deep into the throbbing heart of Africa, dabbles in some feminist politics, decides the countryside is a very dangerous place, and incurs the wrath of his wife, She Who Must Be Obeyed.

Critic Reviews:
Once detective-fiction heroes enter your mental landscape, they can seem as real as your own friends and family. For a lot of people, Horace Rumpole is just such a vivid and familiar figure. (Wall Street Journal)
Mortimer has created one of the legendary fictional detectivesa barrister [whos] as much a detective as Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot. (Boston Globe)
Rumpole is one of the immortals of mystery fiction. (San Francisco Chronicle)
