Rumpole And the Angel of Death

Rumpole is back on the defence benches, pursuing truth and claret with equal vigour and energetically tormenting judges and QCs.

In the title story Rumpole is defending a pro-euthanasia doctor on a charge of murdering his old colleague Chippy. Here the truth comes to light and when Rumpole finds himself defending the hated 'baby-snatcher' in Rumpole and the Little Boy Lost.

In Hilda's Story, She Who Must Be Obeyed proves to be a cunning sleuth in her own right and Rumpole's victory rests on her findings. Standing up for the underdog, ferreting out the true villains and exposing the unjust, Rumpole is back on triumphant form in this hugely entertaining collection.
