Evil Shepherd

Evil Shepherd

by E. Phillips Oppenheim

In 'Evil Shepherd,' a seemingly straightforward murder case takes an unexpected turn when the defendant, Oliver Hilditch, is acquitted thanks to the brilliant legal defense of Francis Ledsam. However, Ledsam's triumph is short-lived as he learns from Hilditch's wife that her husband is guilty of far more sinister acts. Ledsam finds himself torn between his affection for the woman and his unwavering commitment to justice, ultimately facing a complex moral dilemma. The novel explores themes of deception, betrayal, and the complexities of truth and justice.
