The Evil Shepherd by E. Phillips Oppenheim audiobook.

Genre: thriller

Fresh from a dazzling courtroom victory, London barrister Francis Ledsam believes he has done his duty: his client, Oliver Hilditch, has been acquitted of stabbing his business partner to death. Then a woman steps out of the crowd and shatters the evening's triumph. She introduces herself as Margaret Hilditch, and what she tells Ledsam turns professional pride into a private nightmare: the man he saved is not merely suspect, but morally rotten in ways the law cannot easily punish. Before Ledsam can decide whether to protect his reputation or act on his conscience, Hilditch is murdered, and the case twists into something far more dangerous than a single trial. Pulled into the investigation, Ledsam navigates glittering clubs and cynical high society, where amusement can look like cruelty and influence can be as lethal as a knife. As he searches for the truth, he is forced to test his own principles, resist seductive compromises, and uncover the guiding hand of an unseen figure who seems to herd human lives toward disaster - an evil shepherd indeed.
