Jason B. Sheffield
In Son of a Bitch, the reader meets Carter Scales well into her 30-year career after she is caught having an intimate relationship with one of her clients, Antonio De Silva, head of the Salucci Crime Family, and is facing disbarment. There we learned briefly that she climbed her way out of obscurity in the City of Atlanta trial court system and that she began working for the Mafia, all at the expense of her relationship with her son.
But what was it really like in the City of Atlanta trial courts for a woman back in 1979. How corrupt were the judges and prosecutors? What did she really have to do to gain respect from the men who belittled her and women who undermined her?
The next book is the prequel to Son of a Bitch and follows the painful yet inspiring rise of small-town Carter Esther Scales as she climbs her way up and through the City of Atlanta trial court system and into the Mafia where she ultimately becomes the dragon lady "bitch" we all know and love.
