Read by Robert Hardy
Living in "retirement" in Miami, Florida, where their son Nick is head
of the sociology department at the university, the irascible Horace
Rumpole and his wife Hilda ("She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed") are enjoying the
warm winter weather and sunlight. When Tiffany Jones, a young professor
at the university, disappears, shortly after she has flirted with
Rumpole at a party, he is as perturbed as are her many friends.
Simultaneously, Rumpole reads in a London newspaper, sent by friends,
that a struggling young accountant has been arrested for the gory
murder of a wealthy aristocrat in a London underground station.
message written in blood is found beside his body. Rumpole cannot
resist the lure of returning to London to work on this "blood" case,
and Hilda soon joins him, but he discovers that his desk in chambers
is now occupied by Ken Cracknell, an overconfident young man with no
experience defending a murder case. It is Ken who will defend Simpson,
the accountant, but he agrees to let Rumpole work as his "assistant"
in this sensational murder investigation. The two locations--Florida,
where Tiffany has disappeared, and London, where Simpson has been
arrested and charged with murder--come together when Tiffany and
Simpson both prove to have been interested in a cult, Children of
the Sun.
