Rising from the ashes of the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco is teeming with energy, opportunity, and more than its share of legal machinations. English trial attorney Jonathan Perris emigrates to “The Golden City” and opens a small law practice, hoping to leave behind his tumultuous beginnings and forge a productive new life. With the help of his quirky American colleagues Cordelia Hammersmith, Oliver Bean and Dove Rebane, “Barrister Perris” takes on cases other lawyers won’t touch. He’s more than up for the challenge, but a major obstacle continues to haunt him: the past he’s trying to forget.
