However, there's apparently more to Linnet Ellery than a little old-money human privilege. Then, for no reason she can see, she becomes the target of repeated, apparently random violent attacks, escaping injury each time through increasingly improbable circumstances. After some initial missteps, she finds herself sidelined and assigned to unpromising cases. In a workplace where some humans will eventually achieve immense power and centuries of extra lifespan, office politics can be vicious beyond belief. She has high hopes of eventually making partner.īut strange things keep happening to her. Fresh out of law school, she's beginning her career in a powerful New York 'white fang' law firm. Linnet Ellery is the offspring of an affluent Connecticut family dating back to Colonial times. Very lucky humans are selected to join the vampires, werewolves, and elves-or, on occasion, to live at the Seelie Court. Very loyal humans are rewarded with power over other women and men. Humans make the best of rule by 'the Spooks,' and contend among themselves to affiliate with the powers-that-be, in order to avoid becoming their prey.

In Phillipa Bornikova's This Case is Gonna Kill Me, law, finance, the military, and politics are under the sway of long-lived vampires, werewolves, and the elven Alfar.
