Within the Law

Mary Turner wakes to a pale square of light—and then sees the bars crossing it. The courtroom has not been a nightmare: she is in a cell, condemned for a theft she did not commit.

In the city’s hard world of department-store counters and narrow wages, Mary has spent years guarding her independence and holding fast to the principles her father taught her. Now a false accusation has cost her freedom, and three years in prison loom before her. Outwardly numb with despair, she finds one fierce thought taking hold: revenge on a world that has punished her for honesty. How will Mary answer a system that has left her with nothing to lose?
