Penge Bungalow Syndrome (vol. 17, no. 1)

I am a huge Rumpole fan. Now here’s my question: in what book does Mortimer actually write about the Penge Bungalow murders? He’s always referring to it but I’ve never read about the actual case.

As an aside, in the mid-80s I was on the front cover of Lawyer Magazine as the gold medalist from University of Manitoba Law School. I remember thinking it was all downhill from there. Not quite true, but I’ve never been on the cover again.

[Humour columnist Tony Wilson’s reply: He mentions Penge Bungalow all the time, but Mortimer has only just written and released Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders, a prequel, I suppose, to all his other misadventures.]
