DescriptionHorace Rumpole--cigar-smoking, claret-drinking, Wordsworth-spouting defender of some unlikely clients--often speaks of the great murder trial, which revealed his talents as an advocate and made his reputation down at the Bailey when he was still a young man. Now, for the first time, the sensational story of the Penge Bungalow Murders case is told in full: how, shortly after the war, Rumpole took on the seemingly impossible task of defending young Simon Jerold, accused of murdering his father and his father's friend with a German officer's gun. And, how the inexperienced young brief was left alone to pursue the path of justice, in a case that was to echo through the Bailey for years to come. |
