These seven irresistible stories run the gamut from simple thievery to murder and espionage. Rumpole recalls three delightful battles with his arch-enemy, the Mad Bull; indulges his knowledge of bloodstains and typewriters; and uses the refined taste of a garage mechanic to discover the reasons for the robbery of a case of wine.
As usual, Rumpole's biting wit and benevolent ideas of justice push the Mad Bull to the edge of retaliation, and it is only through some last minute diplomatic intervention that Rumpole lives to argue another day.

So why do I enjoy him so much?
First, the targets of his irreverence (posers, social climbers, reformers) are my pet peeves – and explain his lack of professional success. What he holds dear (truth, poetry, a job well done) are among my favorite things. Worldly-wise rather than world-weary, his cynicism never descends to despair. Rather, he offsets the distasteful atmosphere in which he lives and works with a mental buoyancy that turns these standard elements of tragedy into priceless humor. Of course, he's aided in this by his abiding love for criminal defense, work most of his associates shun.
Finally, most of these stories are good mysteries. Not edge-of-your-seat, whodunnit thrillers, but curious perplexities that get resolved in sometimes unexpected ways in the course of Rumpole’s patient, persistent pursuit of that rarest of commodities, the truth.
I know Frederick Davidson is a lightning rod; people either love him or hate him. I love him. He always brought so much more to the mic.
