With "Rumpole Rests His Case," legions of fans welcomed back the curmudgeonly London barrister they had loved for yearsaand they are eager for more. The six new stories in "Rumpole and the Primrose Path" find Horace Rumpoleadespite a heart attack that left him at deathas door in the previous volumeadeftly parrying everything from the admonitions of his wife, Hilda, to the vagaries of his legal colleagues and their new director of marketing, Luci. With her cell phone, corporate jargon, glossy brochures, and plans to give their chambers a new image, Luci presumes Rumpole is soon to expire, and has been planning his memorial service. But the witty and irreverent Rumpole, sharp as ever, is far from hanging up his wig
