You're looking for standalone novels rather than the start of a series.

About this book

In May 1901, barrister Gabriel Ward discovers the body of the Lord Chief Justice of England on his doorstep, a silver carving knife in the judge's chest. Ward is preoccupied with his current case concerning the disputed authorship of the bestselling children's book Millie the Temple Church Mouse. The murder occurs within the Inner Temple, the historic heart of London's legal world, where police can only enter by consent. Ward, a man devoted to law and order, becomes the natural choice to investigate. As he pursues the case, he uncovers secrets hidden within the Temple's ancient buildings and courtyards—secrets far more surprising than he anticipated. Murder, however, does not yield to logic or reasoned argument.
