Rumpoles Return - Mortimer John - książka

Opis

A fruity, foxy masterpiece that revives our wavering belief in humanity, according to the Sunday Times, this story follows Horace Rumpole in an unusual phase of his life. Having retired with his wife, Hilda—affectionately referred to as She Who Must Be Obeyed—to the sunny climes of Florida, Rumpole finds himself in a peculiar situation akin to an air-conditioned limbo. It seems his barrister days at the Old Bailey are behind him. However, when a disheveled civil servant becomes embroiled in the suspicious death of a lesser-known aristocrat, Rumpole is quick to take the opportunity to break free from the monotony of retirement. Without wasting time, he finds himself back in the courtroom (thanks to a budget airline) ready to face off once again with the tenacious Judge 'Mad Bull' Bullingham.
