In 1906 Los Angeles, Kit Shannon is making a name for herself as a female trial lawyer unafraid to take on whoever or whatever stands in the way of justice. When a little boy is struck and killed by a trolley, Kit is determined to get recompense for his mother. Her other big case involves a suspicious attempted murder charge against the down-and-out Mousy Malone. Kit's sense of fairness and mercy leads her to champion child protection laws and pits her alongside prohibition spokeswoman Carry Nation. While Kit battles the political and corporate powers that be in L.A., her fiance, Ted, is doing some investigating of his own in San Francisco. This appealing sequel to A Greater Glory will be popular with fans of historical and gentle legal fiction. Recommended for most libraries. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
