Présentation de l'éditeur
Jonas Pickett, lawyer and commissioner of oaths is nearing retirement, but still has lots of energy. However, he leaves the pressure of a London practice behind to set up a new modest office in a quiet seaside resort. He soon finds that he is overwhelmed with clients and some of them involve him in very odd and sometimes dangerous cases. This collection of inter-linked stories tells how these are brought to a conclusion; ranging from an incredible courtroom drama involving a gipsy queen to terrorist thugs who make their demands at gunpoint.

Hard Cover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First Edition. 1st edition. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Nine short stories. . "These whimsical short stories, first seen in the Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine , center around London solicitor Jonas Pickett, who sets up a modest practice in the small resort town of Shackleton-on-Sea so as not to rusticate in retirement. The sleepy village, not at all what he expects, abounds in crime--some of it lighthearted, some serious--and Jonas is soon in the middle of it. With shrewdness and humor, he deals with the eccentrics, such as Farmer Maggs with his prize bull in "Black Bob" and the fortune-telling Gypsy Queen and her band whose caravans, parked legally on council land, spoil the view from the manor house in "Vivat Regina." In "The Admiral," an old naval officer gets involved with a circus and a devilish set of twins, while the reclusive Dr. Rainey dies mysteriously in his locked house in "The Bird of Dawning." -- Publishers Weekly 222 pages.
