Tallman’s fifth Victorian mystery featuring San Francisco attorney Sarah Woolson has the feisty young woman worrying about the solvency of her law practice. When a snooty couple representing the SPCA hires her to prevent a wealthy Mexican from building a bullring in the city, she goes to work on the case, despite threats from a man who has strong connections to City Hall. Meanwhile, she accompanies her brother, Samuel, to a reception for Oscar Wilde held on Telegraph Hill. On the way home, there are gunshots and Samuel is severely wounded. Who would want to kill Samuel? Was Sarah really the target? Despite her family’s objections, Sarah is determined to find the shooter. The police do not seem interested. She discovers plenty of mayhem on Telegraph Hill. Tallman continues to provide an excellent historical series featuring a strong female who wants a career in law rather than life as a society matron.
