Further ramblings of a self-made pauper

Rumpole, in every other Rumpole story, tells anyone prepared to listen that his first success as a junior was the Penge Bungalow Murders, in which he appeared for the defence "alone and without a leader", though never gives any other detail. The book which you got free today is a recent addition to the Rumpole stories, written by Mortimer in response to numerous requests over the years to put some flesh on the bones of the case.
