Review for Death Shall Overcome:
The Sloan enters the Civil Rights fray in this entry into an entertaining series. The brokerage house of Schuyler and Schuyler announce a new partner with a seat on the stock exchange - black millionaire Edward Parry. One of my very favorites in this series. The sit-in is really great. Lots of fun.

Review for Stitch in Time:
An older book, but still extremely topical. A friend of Thatcher's is appearing in court on the Freebody vs. Atlantic Mutual case. Freebody was a rich old man who was diagnosed with cancer. After some thought, he decided to take the easier way out and attempted suicide. But he was found and brought to the hospital, where he died a few days later. The insurance company (Atlantic Mutual) is stalling on paying his life insurance, ruling his death a suicide. But it's not that simple. The hospital bungled treatment rather badly, and now they're trying a coverup. The more Thatcher looks into the case, the worse it gets. And it ends in murder.
