About
"Nineteenth-century attorney Sarah Woolson is still trying to get her life together. Against her family<U+2019>s wishes, she opens her own San Francisco law firm, only to find that clients---paying clients, that is---are wary of allowing a woman to manage their legal affairs. Just when her patience, as well as her money, are about to run out, Sarah and her friend and former colleague, Robert Campbell, attend a se;ance at San Francisco<U+2019>s Cliff House. Making their way through the worst storm of the season, they arrive at their destination to find themselves in for much more than, in Robert<U+2019>s words, “silly parlor tricks.” After a dramatic display of spirit apparitions, flying trumpets, and phantom music, Madame Olga Karpova---a renowned Russian clairvoyant---and her guests make a grisly discovery: One of the twelve people seated at the table has been brutally strangled. Later, when two more se;ance participants are found slain, Sarah is pressed into defending the accused murderer. Working on her client<U+2019>s case, she quickly finds herself at the center of a complicated murder plot involving ghosts, gypsies, and City Hall, all the while facing off with Robert in a volatile legal battle and investigating her brother Frederick<U+2019>s shady political dealings. Hardly proper behavior for a nineteenth-century woman, but Sarah wouldn<U+2019>t have it any other way. Feisty and determined, Sarah continues to flout the notions of “proper” femininity in this series that is a turn-of-the-century answer to Legally Blonde."--Inside jacket.
