The Trials of Kit Shannon Books

Kit Shannon, a nineteenth-century Los Angeles lawyer, takes the case of a society woman who fears her dark past will be exposed, while Ted Fox's approaching marriage and professional ambition are thwarted when he is falsely accused of treason.

As Kit Shannon defends a down and outer named Mousy Malloy on the charge of attempted murder, she also takes on the case of a woman whose young son is tragically killed by a Los Angeles trolley. Was the death of little Sammy Franklin an accident? Or could it have been avoided? The trolley case pits Kit against a powerful coalition of railroad men and politicians—all of whom seem to have something to hide ... a secret Kit must uncover in order to win. As these two cases move forward, it becomes clear there is some sort of connection—one that could blow the lid off a conspiracy of corruption. And a web of powerful people who will stop at nothing to keep Kit from finding the truth.
