Un caso de ratones y asesinato : Un cozy mystery de muerte

When lawyer Gabriel Ward leaves his rooms one sunny May morning in 1901, his mind is so preoccupied with his latest case —the disputed authorship of the bestselling children's book Millie, the Mouse in Temple Church— that he barely notices the Chief Justice's body lying outside his door. But even he cannot help noticing the judge's bare, dusty feet, so starkly contrasting with his immaculate formal attire, nor the silver carving knife protruding from his chest. Until now, in the courtyards of the ancient buildings of the Inner Temple, the heart of London's legal world, murder has remained firmly confined to the pages of law books for centuries. With the police having no authority in the Temple, who better to investigate the case than Gabriel himself, a man who has dedicated his life to the law? However, he soon discovers that murder is much more complicated outside the courtroom and that, behind the massive oak doors of the Temple, there are secrets stranger than he could ever have imagined.
