A Case of Life and Limb - a charming and immersive historical mystery perfect for summer reading

''As brilliant a cosy crime novel as you''ll ever read'' JANICE HALLETT ''A masterful voice in the mystery world'' S. J. BENNETT 1901. Gabriel Ward KC is hard at work on a thorny libel case involving London''s most famous music hall star and its most notorious tabloid newspaper, but the Inner Temple remains as quiet and calm as ever. Quiet, that is, 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 led to at least one death. It is up to Gabriel, and Constable Wright of the City of London Police, to find out who before the body count gets any higher. The game''s afoot.
