|  | | Murder on Nob Hill
Sarah Woolson dreams of becoming a lawyer in 1880 San Francisco. But polite society believes it's against God's will for women to seek a career. Finagling a job at a major law firm, Sarah acquires her first client, a young society matron accused of murdering her wealthy husband. Soon four more victims fall prety to the killer's knife, and Sarah finds herself embroiled in a scandalous sex club, a daring Chinatown raid, a mysterious tontine, and the Chinatown's most powerful tong lord.
The year is 1880, the place San Francisco. Intelligent, outspoken Sarah Woolson is a young woman with a goal and the fortitude to achieve it. The fourth child, and only daughter, of a Superior Court Judge for the County of San Francisco, she has always dreamed of becoming a lawyer. The trouble is, everyone believes women belong in the home, that it is not only unnatural, but against God’s will for them to seek a career.
When Sarah finagles an interview with one of the city’s most prestigious law firms in town, no one thinks she has a prayer of being hired. Except Sarah. Using her bra | |  | | The Cliff House Strangler
An ancient Aztec priest speaking though the voice of a Russian clairvoyant, ghostly apparitions and flying trumpets, are hardly up practical young 1880s attorney Sarah Woolson’s alley. So, when she and her protesting colleague Robert Campbell make their way through a violent storm to attend a séance at San Francisco’s Cliff House, they are stunned to find not only specters, ghouls and phantom music, but one very dead body at the table!
The Cliff House Strangler will be released July 10, 2007.
CHAPTER ONE
“I can’t believe I let you talk me into this!” Robert Campbell grumbled.
As if to punctuate this complaint, jagged bolts of lightning flashed across the night sky, followed by a resounding clap of thunder. That brief burst of light revealed my companion’s tense face as the cabby’s frightened horse nearly ran our brougham off the road. Eddie Cooper – the young lad I’d met several months ago during the Russian Hill murders – quickly brought the dappled-gray under control. Unfortunately, he seemed disinclined to lessen his horse’s pace as the first heavy drops o | |  | | The Russian Hill Murders
"The Russian Hill Murders, the second book in the Sarah Woolson historical mystery series, feisty young attorney Sarah Woolson continues to buck the chauvanistic all-male legal establishment. This time, Sarah is present when a beautiful and wealthy society matron suddenly drops dead at a charity dinner. Convinced the death is anything but natural, Sarah begins some discreet inquiries which lead her to even more murder and mayhem.
Though her own San Francisco law firm barely tolerates her, gutsy young attorney Sarah Woolson flouts proper feminine behavior in this 19th-century answer to "Legally Blonde." While her mother begs her to settle down, her chauvinistic boss tries to come up with ever more spiteful ways to pressure his only female associate into quitting. Naturally, Sarah digs in her heels and vows to retain her position at any cost. Besides, she has no intention of straying too far from the action.
