Shirley Tallman... The Cliff House Strangler Nineteenth-century lawyer Sarah Woolson is still trying to get her life together – she’s involved with a fellow lawyer, Robert Campbell, and is running her own law firm (against the wishes of her family and friends, not to mention the all-male legal establishment). When she and Robert attend a séance at San Francisco’s Cliff House, where a newspaper tell-all reporter is killed, Sarah finds herself at the center of a complicated murder plot involving ghosts, gypsies and City Hall, all while facing off with Robert in a legal battle and investigating her brother’s shady political dealings. Hardly proper behavior for a lovely, well-bred nineteenth-century woman, but Sarah wouldn’t have it any other way... Preview

She must draw up plans: clean house to make it look like a palace; have Granddad and her neighbor pretend to be the domestic staff; un-teach Princess Hanni the English she’s culled from American gangster movies; cure said Princess of her embarrassing shoplifting habit; and keep an eye on her at parties.
