Christmas Eve, 1901. Gabriel Ward KC is hard at work on a thorny libel case involving London's most famous music hall star, Topsy Tillotson, and its most notorious tabloid newspaper, the Nation's Voice, but the Inner Temple remains as quiet and calm as ever. Quiet, that is, until a severed hand arrives in the post. While the hand's recipient, Temple Treasurer Sir William Waring, is rightfully shaken, Gabriel is filled with curiosity. Who would want to send such a thing? And why?

When barrister Gabriel Ward steps out of his rooms at exactly two minutes to seven on a sunny May morning in 1901, his mind is so full of his latest case—the disputed authorship of bestselling children’s book Millie the Temple Church Mouse—that he scarcely registers the body of the Lord Chief Justice of England on his doorstep. But even he cannot fail to notice the judge’s dusty bare feet, in shocking contrast to his flawless evening dress, nor the silver carving knife sticking out of his chest.

London 1901: Der Temple-Bezirk mit seinen alten Gebäuden und verwinkelten Straßen liegt im Herzen Londons und bildet das Zentrum der englischen Rechtswelt.

Als der Anwalt Gabriel Ward an einem sonnigen Morgen im Mai aus seinen Räumen tritt, stolpert er buchstäblich über die Leiche des obersten Richters. Da die Polizei im Temple-Bezirk keine Befugnisse hat, wird Gabriel mit der Aufklärung betraut.
