  • "John Mortimer's bestselling barrister is back, in his most timely case yet Just in case Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders gave fans the impression that the Great Defender was resting on his laurels, his new case sends him at full sail into our panicky new world. Rumpole is asked to defend a Pakistani doctor who has been imprisoned without charge or trial on suspicion of aiding Al Qaeda. Meanwhile, on the home front, She Who Must Be Obeyed is threatening to share her intimate view of her husband in a tell-all memoir. The result is Rumpole at his most ironic and indomitable, and John Mortimer at his most entertaining."@en

  • "Rumpole's wig may be yellowing at the roots, his gown might be in tatters, but the oldest inhabitant of 4 Equity Court has no use for the word retirement. There's the larcenous Timson family to defend, suicide bombers to dodge, Pommeroy's Wine Bar to frequent and the financing of the Rumpole household - with Hilda's indulgence in luxury cleaning products - to look after."
  • "Mortimer's curmudgeonly barrister, Horace Rumpole, defends a Pakistani doctor accused of aiding al-Qaeda in an up-to-date tale that pits Rumpole against those who use the terrorist threat as an excuse to subvert the British legal system. When Mahmood Khan, who loves the queen, roast beef and cricket as much as any respectable Englishman, is imprisoned on vague charges, Rumpole must use all his wilesi̮ncluding blackmailing the odious home secretaryt̮o ensure a fair trial."
  • "Rumpole is engaged (again!) in defending one of the notoriously lightfingered Timson clan on a theft charge when things take a complicated turn; Tiffany Timson's husband, a Pakistani doctor, is arrested on suspicion of terrorism."@en
  • "A respected pakistani doctor is imprisoned on suspicion of being a terrorist, and the British government refuses to release any information to Rumpole regarding the evidence against him."

With the doctors wife begging him to help her husband, the Great Defender is determined to bring the case before a jury. Trouble is also brewing at home as Hilda - She Who Must Be Obeyed - sits down to write her own memoirs describing her view of Rumpole and her own love life. Rumpole's battle on the home front threaten to derail his case but where there's a Rumpole, there's a way."
