Sobre IBD

The barristers in the city are mainly housed in comfortable, well-equipped chambers owned by their governing body. Directly opposite, surrounded by high rise office blocks is a remnant of jollier times. Ma Hennigan’s Chambers is a former house of notorious fame where Tommy, grandson of the great madam Ma Hennigan, presides over a set of barely legal chambers where the law is practiced, songs are sung, and toasts are drunk. It is inevitable that there will be a collision of wills between the clots and the cream. The author has written a hilarious romp through the tangle of government, law and policing.
