Why a Booktrail?
1901: What do you get when you mix a thorny libel case, a famous music hall star and a tabloid newspaper?
Life and Limb
What you need to know before your trail
Gabriel Ward KC is hard at work on a thorny libel case involving London’s most famous music hall star and its most notorious tabloid newspaper, but the Inner Temple remains as quiet and calm as ever. Quiet, that is, until the mummified hand arrives in the post…
While the hand’s recipient, Temple Treasurer Sir William Waring, is rightfully shaken, Gabriel is filled with curiosity. Who would want to send such a thing? And why? But as more parcels arrive – one with fatal consequences – Gabriel realises that it is not Sir William who is the target, but the Temple itself.
Someone is holding a grudge that has led to at least one death. It is up to Gabriel, and Constable Wright of the City of London Police, to find out who before the body count gets any higher. The game’s afoot.
Travel Guide
London’s legal quarters
If it’s the heart of London’s legal quarters you want to see inside of, then this novel takes you there and places you right at the heart of it all!
The legal area and the gardens where those working in the courts etc will go and hang out are all here as are the streets and alleys where they take shortcuts throughout their day on their way to and from chambers etc.
It’s all very well evoked and stylishly legal!
