Book Description
The Evil Shepherd by E. Phillips (Edward Phillips) Oppenheim Excerpt CHAPTER I Francis Ledsam, alert, well-satisfied with himself and the world, the echo of a little buzz of congratulations still in his ears, paused on the steps of the modern Temple of Justice to light a cigarette before calling for a taxi to take him to his club. Visions of a whisky and soda-his throat was a little parched-and a rubber of easy-going bridge at his favourite table, were already before his eyes. A woman who had followed him from the Court touched him on the shoulder. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
