''Toppleton’s Client: Or A Spirit In Exile'' is a novel written by John Kendrick Bangs. It tells the story of a man named Toppleton who is a lawyer in the small town of Millville. One day, he is visited by a spirit named Captain Kidd who claims to be in exile from the afterlife. Toppleton takes on the case and tries to help Captain Kidd prove his innocence in order to be allowed back into the afterlife. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and obstacles, including skeptical townspeople and a rival lawyer who is determined to discredit Toppleton.
