The first of four new stories by John Mortimer. The many passionate devotees of the cases of Horace Rumpole , barrister-at-law, can rejoice; despite scurrilous rumours to the contrary, Rumpole proves to his colleagues and clients, and to his wife, Hilda, that he has certainly not yet set forth on the primrose way to the eternal bonfire. He's very much alive and well, and as adept as always at getting to the heart of a crime. Rumpole exposes criminal practices at the nursing home where he was sent to recuperate after a heart attack, leaving him in dire need of claret, cheroots and good company.
