In 1892, attorney John Creasy and his wife, Lucy, move to the small town of West Egg on Long Island. There, Creasy finds work as the town's only lawyer, and quickly becomes involved in the community. One of his clients is the wealthy Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilts, who hire Creasy to represent them in a lawsuit against the town. The case revolves around a sawmill that the Vanderbilts believe is causing pollution in their lake. Despite Creasy's best efforts, the town's leaders refuse to back down, and the trial ends in a hung jury. The Vanderbilts decide to leave town, and Creasy is left to pick up the pieces.

The Insulators is a gripping story of law, politics, and the power of the people. Creasy's fight against the Vanderbilts is a testament to the strength of the American system of justice.; 8vo; $6.00.
