Within the Law is a novel written by Marvin Dana that tells the story of Mary Turner, a young woman who is wrongfully accused of theft and sent to prison.

With the help of a lawyer, Mary sets up a fake company and tricks her former employer into investing in it, ultimately causing him to lose all of his money. The novel explores themes of justice, revenge, and the power of knowledge. It is a classic legal thriller that is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats.1913. From the play of Bayard Veiller. The book begins: The lids of the girl's eyes lifted slowly, and she stared at the panel of light in the wall. Just at the outset, the act of seeing made not the least impression on her numbed brain. For a long time she continued to regard the dim illumination in the wall with the same passive fixity of gaze. Apathy still lay upon her crushed spirit. In a vague way, she realized her own inertness, and rested in it gratefully, subtly fearful lest she again arouse to the the full horror of her plight. In a curious subconscious fashion, she was striving to hold on to this deadness of sensation, thus to win a little respite from the torture that had exhausted her soul.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
