 when the murders at Penge Bungalow first made news: two war heroes are shot by a son who faces the death penalty for their murders. It seems straightforward, but Rumpole imparts his memories of the fateful case and its underlying complexities--and fans of the English barrister also receive a tasty set of insights into Rumpole's history and cases, including how he became involved with She Who Must Be Obeyed She Who Must Be Obeyed may refer to:
