'A masterful voice in the mystery genre' S.J. BENNETT

The librarian's dead body lies in a pool of lamplight on his desk. A priceless medieval document has been stolen from the Inner Temple. And this time the usually reluctant sleuth Gabriel Ward KC couldn't be more eager to investigate – because a second life hangs in the balance.

The authorities are already certain they've found the culprit: Jitendra Shah, an Indian law student living in the Temple. Did he plan to steal the manuscript as an act of anti-British defiance, and kill the librarian in the process? His lack of alibi and suspicious behaviour since the murder are all the evidence the police need, at least.

But Gabriel is convinced of his innocence. And in matters of murder, Gabriel is very seldom wrong…
