A Case of Life and Limb

Winter, 1901. The Inner Temple is even quieter than usual under a blanket of snow and Gabriel Ward KC is hard at work on a thorny libel case. All is calm, all is bright - until the mummified hand arrives in the post...



While the hand\'s recipient, Temple Treasurer Sir William Waring, is rightfully shaken, Gabriel is filled with curiosity. Who would want to send such a thing? And why? But as more parcels arrive - one with fatal consequences - Gabriel realises that it is not Sir William who is the target, but the Temple itself.



Someone is holding a grudge that has already led to at least one death. Now it\'s up to Gabriel, and Constable Wright of the City of London Police, to find out who, before an old death leads to a new murder.
