Rumpole and the Broken Umbrella | A Classic Case | Old Bailey Stories

In rain-soaked London, a timid library assistant is accused of wounding a swaggering property developer with nothing more than a battered old umbrella. At the Old Bailey, Rumpole peels away the press-friendly drama to find a quieter truth hiding in procedure, missing exhibits, and one deceptively neat puncture. A cosy legal mystery of class, “progress,” and the small details that can save an innocent life.
