Children's history-based fiction Capitol Cat & Watch Dog Outwit the U.S. Supreme Court is Judge Janice Law's seventh book, and her second book detailing the history-based Washington D.C. adventures of Capitol Cat and Watch Dog. It is a sequel to Capitol Cat & Watch Dog Unite Lady Freedoms, where the inventive duo unite twin sisters: the bronze Lady Freedom atop the U.S. Capitol Building; and the sculptor's plaster cast of the same Lady Freedom, which spent years in a windowless Capitol basement before being moved to the Visitors Center. Although both narratives are fantasy tales of magical realism, each is based on historical fact. Continuing in the Washington, D.C. setting, Judge Law's fifth book, Wicked Good Secrets, is historical fiction thriller about the disappearance of the U.S. Capitol cornerstone after President George Washington laid it in a 1793 Masonic ceremony.
