For the Defence 🏛️💼 | A Thrilling Legal Mystery by Fergus Hume

For the Defense by Fergus Hume is a full-length mystery audiobook that combines amateur investigation, crime fiction, and courtroom suspense. On a quiet Surrey estate, a dangerous African artifact goes missing before an apparent poisoning and a missing body transform an unusual domestic mystery into a tangled case involving disputed evidence, shifting suspicions and questions about what really happened. Retired Major Jen takes matters into her own hands after Maurice Alymer appears to die and the body then disappears. As he interrogates those around him, Miss Dallas, David Sarby, and other figures become entangled in conflicting accounts, ulterior motives, romantic jealousy, and claims of hypnotic influence, leaving the Major to separate persuasive appearances from reliable facts. Set around Ashantee in Hurstleigh in Surrey and extending to the investigation chambers and courtroom, this mystery rewards listeners who enjoy deceptive appearances, competing suspects and careful discussions of guilt. The story combines detection with crime, rivalry, unusual psychological or occult suggestions, and a legal confrontation in which testimony and interpretation become as important as physical clues.
