About this audiobook

The lives of the inhabitants of Swevenings are disrupted only by a fierce competition to catch the Old Un, a monster trout known to dwell in a beautiful stream which winds past their homes.

Then one of their small community is found brutally murdered; beside him is the freshly killed trout. Both died by violence - but Chief Detective Inspector Roderick Alleyn's murder investigation seems to be much more interested in the fish...
Scales of Justice was first published in 1955

Ratings and reviews

One of my favorites. And I could listen to Philip read the phone book. What a voice. I wish he would have narrated them all.
