Description

The Inner Temple: a warren of shaded courtyards and ancient buildings forming the hidden heart of London’s legal world.

A place where tradition is everything, and murder belongs only in the casebooks.

Until now…When barrister Gabriel Ward steps out of his rooms on a sunny May morning in 1901, his mind is so full of his latest case – the disputed authorship of bestselling children’s book Millie the Temple Church Mouse – that he scarcely registers the body of the Lord Chief Justice of England on his doorstep. But even he cannot fail to notice the judge’s dusty bare feet, in shocking contrast to his flawless evening dress, nor the silver carving knife sticking out of his chest. The police can enter the Temple only by consent, so who better to investigate this tragic breach of law and order than a man who prizes both above all things?

But murder doesn’t answer to logic or reasoned argument, and Gabriel soon discovers that the Temple’s heavy oak doors are hiding more surprising secrets than he’d ever imagined. The first in a brand-new series introducing a wonderfully eccentric sleuth, perfect for fans of T.E.

Kinsey, S.J. Bennett and Richard Coles.
