Gutsy young attorney Sarah Woolson continues to flout the notions of "proper" femininity in this irresistible blend of history, romance and murder.
Nineteenth-century attorney Sarah Woolson is still trying to get her life together. Against her family's wishes, she opens her own San Francisco law firm, only to find that clients -- paying clients, this is -- are reluctant to trust their legal affairs to a woman. Just when her patience, as well as her money, are about to run out, Sarah and her former colleague, Robert Campbell, attend a seance at San Francisco's famed 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's words, "silly parlor tricks." After a dramatic display of spirit apparitions, flying trumpets and phantom music, renowned Russian psychic Madame Olga Karpova and her guests make a grisly discovery: one of the twelve people seated at the table has been brutally strangled!
Later, when two more seance participants are found slain, Sarah is pressed into defending the accused murderer. Working on the case, she soon finds herself at the center of a diabolical 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's shady political dealings. Feisty and determined, Sarah is prepared to risk everything -- even her own life -- to clear her client's name and bring the real killer to justice.
