When the light suddenly faded for Rumpole during the Mandela Buildings case at the Old Bailey,and he found himself coming to consciousness in hospital with his chest still crunching with pain,it seemed that the great advocate's days in Court were over.Certainly his colleagues at Chambers thought so.Why else were they already planning his memorial service? Even Rumpole himself,usually as irrepressible as any East End villain,felt his spirits lowered: Primrose Path Home began to seem more like a hospice than a nursing home.
Then something about the place began to puzzle him,and with the help of Luci Gribble,Soapy Sam Ballard's recent appointment as Director of Marketing and Administration at Chambers and an unlikely ally of Rumpole,a great scam was revealed and an innocent and friendly nurse cleared of a serious charge.It was enough to put a spring back into the step of even the most world-weary lawyer.
Solving the mystery of the Primrose Path Home proves to be the first of a collection of new cases,as Rumpole defies the Jeremiahs and returns triumphantly to defend the innocent - and the not-so- innocent.
