"Rumpole is one of the immortals of mystery fiction." --San Francisco Chronicle Of the late Sir John Mortimer's many beloved characters, Horace Rumpole is widely considered his greatest fictional creation. Here, collected in book form for the first time, are five delightful tales that capture the beleaguered barrister at his grumpy yet warm-hearted best. Rumpole isn't particularly fond of Christmas Day--he finds it has a horrible habit of dragging on as "She Who Must Be Obeyed" leads him through the usual rituals. But at least the criminal fraternity rarely takes a holiday. Whether it's a suspicious Father Christmas or an unseasonably nasty murder trial, there's always something wonderfully unlawful to liven up Rumpole's dull holiday plans.
