Reader's note

Like the book before it (Brothers in Law) this brilliant vintage Penguin is extremely funny. Main character Roger Thursby has grown in knowledge and stature: he is now about to take 'silk'. In one of his last big cases as a junior he carries a defence through to the Court of Criminal Appeal on behalf of the estimable Swiss hotel proprietor, Mr. Glacier. Over an alleged breach of the licensing laws, accused might or might not have offered a bribe to a police inspector. The inspector might or might not have taken it. The law's delays are very pleasantly increased by the appearance of many choice characters, such as high-speed Grimes, incoherent Crabtree, and omniscient young Anthony Trent, who in three months at the bar has learned everything...except sense! With a wild scenario and even wilder characters, this great book is the perfect addition to any collection.
