Synopsis

The most beloved barrister ever to sway a jury--or savor a claret--is back on the case, in an engaging new collection of stories. With his passion for Wordsworth, his kindly disposition toward the underdog, and a nose equally sensitive to wrongdoing and fine wine, the disheveled Horace Rumpole has become "one of the immortals of mystery fiction" (San Francisco Chronicle).
