After losing a case in a sexist and racist kangaroo court, Clara Shortridge Foltz, Esq., learns to use street tactics to find the real killer. Now you can hear how it was in California before civil rights became an issue for anyone but males. Clara is the first woman admitted to the State Bar of California. It is 1884 in San Francisco's Chinatown. When a white prostitute is murdered and flayed down to a skeleton, Clara is hired by the Six Companies of Chinatown to defend the 16 males who are swept up by the corrupt Chinatown Squad.

I am not normally a fiction reader, but this was an outstanding read! It was a wonderful journey into the mind of a very interesting woman. The time period is thoroughly and realistically described, so the reader the reader is transported back in time. The chapters concerning the court scene are my favorite. A woman pushing her way through prejudices and status quo thinking, to intellectually convey her side.
The book was read with the feeling for each character.
I would recommend this audio book to anyone that wants to take a great leap into a great mystery.
