Classic Court Cases & Murder Mysteries

Revisit the classic series, Rumpole of the Bailey, now on Passport!

In John Mortimer’s satirical look at criminal law and the workings of the Old Bailey, Horace Rumpole is a barrister who spouts Wordsworth to himself and is famed among colleagues for his battered hat and general slovenliness.

His wife, known as “She who must be obeyed,” sometimes thinks Rumpole has been so busy playing parts in courts that he’s lost all trace of his own identity.

The international bestselling author Ruth Rendell and a raft of stars ensure intrigue and suspense at every turn. From cold, rock-strewn moors to comfortable suburban estates, Ruth Rendell explores the dark fissures between friends and family members that motivate murder.

Author's summary: Classic series on Passport.
