Kill All the Judges

"Complex, fascinating, and fun ... Kill All the Judges is a classic crime work, from an author heralded as one of Canada's best, and with good reason." -- Shelf Life Is someone systematically killing the judges of the B.C. bar? At least one has been murdered and several have disappeared. Arthur Beauchamp returns from retirement once again to take on the case, this time defending his former nemesis, backwoods poet Cudworth Brown, and tracking down a mystery novel that Brown's unreliable former lawyer has been writing -- all this just as his own wife, Margaret, has announced her candidacy for the Green Party in a forthcoming federal by-election. Complex, madcap, and peopled with some of the most delightfully eccentric characters to be found between two covers, Kill All the Judges more than proves William Deverell's mastery of the hilarious crime novel.
