The Anti-social Behaviour of Horace Rumpole by John Mortimer
ASBOs may be the pride and joy of New Labour, they don't cut much ice with Horace Rumpole - he takes the old-fashioned view that if anyone is going to be threatened with restriction of their liberty then some form of legal proceeding ought to be gone through first. Why are residents pursuing their vendetta against the Timson boy quite so strongly?Praise for Rumpole and the Reign of Terror:
'Rumpole is back, as gloriously seedy as everMortimer's divine hero is one of the few fictional immortals of our time' The Times
'Written with Mortimer's customary aplomb and an infectious enjoyment' Elizabeth Buchan, Sunday Times
'A fine comic creation. A figure who represents something important: the defence of liberty against the arrogance of power' Scotsman

Among his many publications are several volumes of Rumpole stories and a trilogy of political novels (Paradise Postponed, Titmuss Regained, and The Sound of Trumpets) featuring Leslie Titmuss.
