Rumpole of the Bailey by John Mortimer
A collection of stories featuring Rumpole of the Bailey, including "Rumpole and the Younger Generation", "Rumpole and the Alternative Society", "Rumpole and the Honourable Member", "Rumpole and the Married Lady, "Rumpole and the Learned Friends" and "Rumpole and the Heavy Brigade".
Horace Rumpole, barrister-at-law, has an unsurpassed knowledge of typewriters and bloodstains, a penchant for quoting poetry, and a wife whom he secretly calls She Who Must Be Obeyed. He long ago solved the infamous Penge Bungalow Murder and the Great Brighton Benefit Club Forgery. Now he takes on a violent robbery a drug- peddling affair, a rape, a divorce, a safe-breaking, a murder - and in doing so uncovers some hidden corners in the maze of British justice....
Rumpole's ever-present wit and cunning make these stories thought provoking and fun.
