by Richard Cooper.
The second of eight cases featuring the legendary lawyer Edward Marshall Hall.
Starring Jonathan Hyde and Sian Phillips with John Bird, Michael Feast, Terry Taplin, Leslee Udwin.
A severe illness means a long absence from the Bar, and Marshall Hall needs a case that will bring him back to public notice. What could be better than a sensational high-society scandal? Lord Russell is prosecuting his mother-in-law Lady Scott for criminal libel, and Marshall Hall appears once more for the defence.
