Rawlinson, Peter Indictment For Murder
Orion 1995 0-7528-0296-8 / 9780752802961 Paperback Very Good
The trial of a 77-year-old retired judge for murdering a 78-year-old family friend who was a war hero forms the unlikely basis for this stirring psych ological study set in England. Jonathan Playfair, Knight of the Realm and o netime Judge of the High Court, is accused of murdering David Trelawney, at whose side he long ago fought against the Germans in North Africa. The cas e appears straightforward: during a visit to Trelawney, who was bed-bound f rom a broken ankle and prostate cancer, Playfair was left alone with his ol d friend while the attendant nurse exited the room. When she returned, she found Trelawney dead, Playfair absent and physical and circumstantial evide nce suggesting that Playfair had committed murder. While Rawlinson milks th e ensuing trial for plenty of drama and suspense, with some deft surprises for punctuation, it is the psychological history of Trelawney and Playfair' s relationship that above all rivets the attention. The bit players, from t he troubled trial judge to the inexperienced prosecutor to the high-powered defense counsel, are extremely well drawn and serve admirably to highlight this study of cunning, survival and malevolence hidden by a facade of resp ectability. Rawlinson (The Caverel Claim, etc.), who was a British MP for 2 3 years, has demonstrated yet again that the internal struggles of individu als provide the greatest drama and the most intense theater of combat of al l.
