Ah, the persistent, witty, determined "always get her man" Deputy Constance Kopp. Having to prove herself over and over again to her male colleagues, the press, and multiple critics, she still pushes on. This time she is tackling a case of a housewife whose husband has her committed to an insane asylum every time he wants some breathing room at home for his extracurricular activities. Feeling that this woman has been treated unjustly she tries to have her released only to meet a brick wall of resistance from the press, her boss's harshest critics and those political candidates running against her police chief boss and friend. 1916 was not an easy time for women - be it a wife, convict or jailer but Deputy Kopp shows heart and grit. Fans of the early days of women's independence and novels like THE ALIENIST will fall for this great series.
