Anything For A Quiet Life & Other Mysteries: And Other Mysteries (New edition.)

Jonas Pickett, lawyer and commissioner of oaths is nearing retirement, but still has lots of energy.

However, he leaves the pressure of a London practice behind to set up a new modest office in a quiet seaside resort.

He soon finds that he is overwhelmed with clients and some of them involve him in very odd and sometimes dangerous cases.

This collection of inter-linked stories tells how these are brought to a conclusion; ranging from an incredible courtroom drama involving a gipsy queen to terrorist thugs who make their demands at gunpoint.
