Produktbeschreibung
Mill Valley, the sequel to Sausalito, provides a heretofore untapped "window" into the multi-billion-dollar asbestos litigation as it started in the late 1970s and expanded in the 1980s, through the eyes and legal maneuverings of Ronan O'Neill. Overlaying these courtroom and backroom machinations are the relationships of Ronan and the many women with whom he interacts, as well as all of those who came to trust in him. Written on a palette of not just California, but the United States, and at times parts of Europe, this second work of this author's historical fiction brings the reader along to visit the places and issues that helped to shape modern Mass Tort litigation as we have come to know it today. A great deal of what is written on these pages is as applicable today as it was decades ago, when these events occurred.
