Mystery
‘A Case of Mice and Murder’
By Sally SmithSir Gabriel Ward, KC, a barrister, practices at the Inner Temple (the London’s secret inner legal world) where he also lives. On May 20, 1901, his normal routine is disturbed when he literally stumbles over the body of Norman Dunning, the lord chief justice of England, at his chambers’ doorstep. Then William Waring, head of Inner Temple, assigns Ward to investigate the murder. Ward has the only ironclad alibi at the Inner Temple. A reluctant Ward, with a Watson-like sidekick, sets out to crack the case in this delightful mystery.
