A Secret at Pomeroy’s | A Rumpole of the Bailey Mystery | Old Bailey Stories Slip into Pomeroy’s Wine Bar for a modest glass of claret… and stumble into murder-by-favour. When the cellar man Stanley Croft is blamed for a young solicitor’s sudden death, Rumpole follows the paper trail: an unsealed exhibit, a missing phone, and a stranger with polished shoes.
