Description

This collection of amusing secrets catches John Mortimer?s deft writing. Rumpole a la-carte, a discourse on the English legal system, requires us from the cafe fight over Rumpole?s mashed spuds into a conflict with an investigator-author on a vessel. The crazy yarns of Rumpole on Test are innovative: demon worshippers, Juvenile Court, a mysterious seductress looking for a lawyer to protect her spouse for a homicide not yet dedicated, and courtroom methods a tad too lunatic pressure Rumpole to manage the Disciplinary Committee of the Bar Council. Rumpole and the Angel of Death provides a commentary on cruelty to animals, human-rights, and the fallibility of the justice process.
