John Mortimer RUMPOLE RESTS HIS CASE Signed Hardback
First edition, fourth print hardback of RUMPOLE RESTS HIS CASE by John Mortimer and published by Viking in 2001. Signed to previous owner by Mortimer on the title page.The book is in near fine condition (blue cloth boards with red lettering to spine) with no significant wear apart from light age tanning around the page edges. The book is in a near fine unclipped dust jacket which also has no wear to speak of. Internally the pages are otherwise clean and tight and there are no tears or inscriptions.
When your life at the Bar has been as rich as Rumpole's, the past is best avoided. Who knows what might have happened to that dubious boy you got off a motoring charge at Swansea in the early eighties? Or that young man who went down for a minor case of safe-breaking, despite your best efforts?
But the past has a funny habit of intruding nevertheless. When Rumpole takes an unwanted Christmas break in the country, he feels sure that he's met the local squire before. And that pantomime dame treading the boards at the Tufnell Park Empire seems oddly familiar ... Strangest of all, Rumpole is forced to delve back into the hippy-dippy sixties when the skeleton of a young woman is found under the floorboards of a derelict house.
There's a new wind blowing in this dazzling collection of new Rumpole stories: for the first time Rumpole finds himself appearing for an asylum-seeker at the Appeals Tribunal, and - worst of all - his chambers have become a smoke-free zone.
Perhaps it's all too much for Rumpole? Is the day coming when the lights go out even on one of the greatest advocates to grace the Old Bailey?
