Rumpole and the Vanishing Widow | The Missing Wife Case | Old Bailey Stories

Rumpole and the Vanishing Widow | A Cozy Old Bailey Case | Old Bailey Stories When a wife vanishes and a body is pulled from the Thames, the police reach for the nearest husband—especially if he works among coffins. Rumpole is briefed at an inquest where suspicion passes for proof, and he follows a trail of damp property, missing dental evidence, and a ticket bought under a forgotten name. From Chambers to Pommeroy’s and finally the Old Bailey, this is a wry, humane courtroom mystery about assumptions, marriage, and the quiet power of insisting on facts.
