Product Overview
In the annals of criminal law, few figures are as feared and admired as a brilliant, unorthodox lawyer whose knack for snatching seemingly hopeless cases from the jaws of defeat has earned him a formidable reputation. With his deceptively mild manner and razor-sharp intuition, he is the last hope for clients facing the gallows. His loyal clerk of thirty years narrates this series of 12 baffling mysteries, from a murder in a peaceful wood to the strange case of a mutilated body on a railway line.
Each story presents a puzzle that confounds the police and the public, but the lawyer’s keen eye for human nature and his relentless pursuit of the truth uncover hidden connections that others miss. Whether defending the innocent or exposing the guilty, he operates by his own code, often bending the rules to ensure justice is served.
