Asked to tutor a popular school athlete only to discover that he actually needs her help dealing with a mid-20th-century ghost, Elizabeth Webster uncovers her father’s secret work, and her own destiny, as an Attorney for the Damned. Simultaneous.
Elizabeth Webster is happy to stay under the radar (and under her bangs) until middle school is dead and gone. But when star swimmer Henry Harrison asks her to tutor him in math, it's not linear equations Henry really needs help with—it's a flower-scented, poodle-skirt-wearing, head-tossing ghost who's calling out Elizabeth's name. But why Elizabeth? Could it have something to do with her missing lawyer father? Maybe. Probably. If only she could find him. In her search, she discovers more than she is looking for: a grandfather she never knew, a startling legacy, and the secret family law firm Webster & Son, Attorneys for the Damned. Elizabeth and her friends soon land in court, where demons and ghosts take the witness stand and a red-eyed judge with a ratty white wig hands out sentences like sandwiches. Will Elizabeth's father arrive in time to save Henry Harrison—and is Henry the one who really needs saving?
While common laws torment Elizabeth's days, uncommon laws of a different realm govern her nights.
