Description:"Frail Blood" and "Weak Flesh" are fictional works inspired by true events that took place in Auburn, California, in 1909, and Elizabeth City, North Carolina, in 1901. The characters have been invented and their names and events altered for the purpose of the story.FRAIL BLOODCalifornia, 1909. A woman straps a pistol to her ankle, walks to her lover’s home, and shoots him. Her motive? After an affair of four months, he jilted her for another woman. How would an attorney defend the woman in light of her outright confession? Would an all-male jury view her actions with repulsion or pity? The climate of California in the early twentieth century when women couldn’t vote and men held the real power, where immense wealth rested alongside poverty, held a paradox of contradictions. The bare bones of this true California court case sparked the idea for the fictional story of Alma Bentley, attorney Malachi Rivers, and Emma Knight, the woman who helps him investigate the case.When jaded lawyer Malachi Rivers engages newspaper editor Emma Knight to aid him in the case of Alma Bentley, he has no idea they'll eventually unmask a vile web of family deceit, wickedness, and treachery. Constantly putting herself in harm's way, the feckless Emma uncovers dark secrets that lie behind the wealthy facade of the Joseph Machado clan. With her strong opinions, Emma tests Malachi's patience even while he's strongly attracted to her. She disagrees with every aspect of his trial strategy, but he defends his client the only way he can – by insisting that a woman, a naturally frail creature, is incapable of committing such a heinous crime. Emma wants to experience true passion and detests the false notion that women are inferior to men in any way. Even while she confronts Malachi at every turn, she falls ridiculously in love with him.WEAK FLESHA woman disappears near the banks of the Pasquotank River in 1901 and her body is found thirty-seven days later. Marshal Tucker Gage must solve the mystery of what happened to beautiful Nell Carver who had too many boyfriends and too little sense. With the aid of his plain and practical friend Megan Bailey he plunders the murky depths of the darkness of men's hearts and the Great Dismal Swamp to find the truth.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
