Garrow's Law

When 133 Africans are thrown off a slave ship and drowned, Garrow is hired to prosecute the ship's captain--for fraud, not murder, since slaves are considered cargo. Meanwhile, Sir Arthur Hill begins legal proceedings against Garrow.

Lady Sarah has been evicted from her home by Sir Arthur, but Southouse insists that Garrow cannot see her. A distracted Garrow turns to his latest case, forced to determine if the matter is blackmail, shame, or love.

The Royal Hospital at Greenwich has a duty to care for disabled sailors. Instead, men are starved, mistreated, and left to die. When a man speaks out against the abuse, he is prosecuted for malicious libel--and Garrow is charged with defending him.

Garrow scandalizes fashionable London when he's charged with adultery. Still, he looks for comfort from Lady Sarah after losing a case in which a young boy is hanged. Southouse uncovers a secret that could compromise Sir Arthur, but a crucial witness refuses to testify.
