Written in the form of a biography of the Lord Chief Justice of England, England's top lawyer and judge, by his son, the novel builds to a sensational climax...There was a skeleton in the judge's cupboard, so grim as to be scarcely credible, so amazing that even the most remarkable of newspaper sensations would have paled beside the story which the judge on his deathbed made his son swear to reveal. The story is so fantastic that medical opinion throws doubt upon the judge's sanity.......
