In the Inner Temple, murder has stayed confined to the casebooks for centuries. Until now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe mystery continues in \u003cem\u003eA Case of Life and Limb\u003c\/em\u003e, where the Temple's calm is shattered by a series of unsettling parcels sent to Temple Treasurer Sir William Waring. As more packages arrive, each stranger than the last, and one proves fatal, Gabriel realises someone bears a grudge against the Temple itself. Working with Constable Wright of the City of London Police, Gabriel must identify the culprit before the body count rises, all while juggling a libel case for a rising theatrical star. Both novels are richly steeped in the history and eccentric charm of the Inner Temple, offering warmth, wit and genuine mystery in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo full-length paperback mysteries in one great-value collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmersive Edwardian setting rooted in real Inner Temple history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA charming, unwilling detective readers have taken to their hearts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L.
