A Case of Mice and Murder
by Sally Smith
When barrister Gabriel Ward steps out of his rooms in 1901, his mind is so full of his latest case, the disputed authorship of bestselling children’s book “Millie the Temple Church Mouse,” that he scarcely registers the body of the Lord Chief Justice of England on his doorstep. But even he cannot fail to notice the judge’s dusty bare feet, nor the silver carving knife sticking out of his chest. In the courtyards and ancient buildings of the Inner Temple, the hidden heart of London’s legal world, murder has spent centuries confined firmly to the casebooks. Until now. Gabriel soon discovers that the Temple’s heavy oak doors are hiding more surprising secrets than he’d ever imagined.
