“Death in a Lawyer's Robe” is the fifth novel in the series about the famous detective Lord Powerscourt (the Slovo publishing house has already introduced the previous ones to Russian readers). During a festive banquet at the London legal corporation Queen's Inn, the brilliant metropolitan lawyer Alexander Dontsey dies. Poisoning - this is the conclusion of medical experts. And soon Dontsy's friend and colleague, Mr. Stewart, is killed. Lord Powerscourt is invited to investigate the murder case. Among the suspects is a swindler, the creator of a financial pyramid, and a jealous wife, and a charming mistress, and her husband - an old sick cuckold, and, on top of everything else, a great expert in poisons... Which of them is the criminal? Trying to answer this question, the detective himself is in mortal danger. But, as always in the novels of David Dickinson, justice will prevail and vice will certainly be punished.
