Rumpole and the Primrose Path by John Mortimer
Curmudgeonly London barrister Horace Rumpole, recovering from a near fatal heart attack, returns in a new collection of stories in which he takes on a nasty head nurse and befriends a young one at his run-down convalescent center as he investigates the mysterious death of an elderly patient, in the title story in a new collection of mystery tales.

Mortimer is the master of a crisp, witty, eminently readable prose style. (Los Angeles Times)
