Joseph Rearden is British Intelligence's man on the inside. It's his job to become what he isn't-- even a thief and convict-- to convince the group he infiltrates that he's one of them. And it's his job to get through it all alive.

Two hilarious one-act plays (What Shall We Tell Caroline? and The Dock Brief) in which an inept lawyer defends a man who is guilty of murdering and a foul-tempered, but loving, husband seeks to shelter his wife and daughter from the realities of life.
