Pickles, James. Off The Record. A Work of Fiction. London, Smith Gryphon Limited, 1993. 24cm x 15.5cm. 220 pages. Original Hardcover with original illustrated dustjacket in protective Mylar. Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear. Signed by the author. Mr. Justice Slingsby, like his creator, James Pickles, is a judge not afraid to speak his mind, even though it does land him in trouble. But when Ray Slingsby hits a new high in audacity when he suggests publicly that the Lord Chancellor, Oswald Trotter, is in the habit of thrusting his bulky, florid frame into the ample curves of his very private secretary, Anona ‘No Knickers’ Chandell-Sweet. Anona’s flabby and witless husband, Alwyne, who doesn’t come close to satisfying her passionate nature, has been rewarded for his wife’s missionary zeal by being appointed a judge on the North Midland Circuit. Ray detects corruption and is determined to root it out. Trotter knows he has to silence ‘the appalling socialist judge from the North’, or face humiliation and the loss of his privileged position. James Pickle’s debut novel is a mischievous assault on the establishment, and a wickedly funny romp through the corridors of judicial power- a subject on which the former judge is something of an expert.
