{"product_id":"a-rumpole-christmas-stories","title":"A Rumpole Christmas: Stories","description":"“Rumpole is one of the immortals of mystery fiction.” —San Francisco Chronicle\n\nOf the late Sir John Mortimer’s many beloved characters, Horace Rumpole is widely considered his greatest fictional creation. Here, collected in book form for the first time, are five delightful tales that capture the beleaguered barrister at his grumpy yet warm-hearted best.\n\nRumpole isn’t particularly fond of Christmas Day—he finds it has a horrible habit of dragging on as “She Who Must Be Obeyed” leads him through the usual rituals. But at least the criminal fraternity rarely takes a holiday. Whether it’s a suspicious Father Christmas or an unseasonably nasty murder trial, there’s always something wonderfully unlawful to liven up Rumpole’s dull holiday plans.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0143117912\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0143117912.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mortimer, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
