Descriere & specificații

Each member of the nursery, a group of brilliant yet sometimes bungling young barristers, has one member of a wealthy British family as a client. When they suspect that a murderer's afoot in the family's complex real estate tax case, they once again call in their friend Hilary Tamar, brilliant Oxford don. nInheritance becomes deadly in this gripping literary puzzle--the second installment of the Hilary Tamar mysteries that began with Thus Was Adonis Murdered. nForeword by A. J. Finn, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window n nDie first, pay later. n nIt seemed the perfect way to avoid three million in taxes on a five-million-pound estate: change the trust arrangement. Everyone in the family agreed to support the heiress, the ravishing raven-haired Camilla Galloway, in her court petition--except dreary Cousin Deirdre, who suddenly demanded a small fortune for her signature. n nThen Deirdre had a terrible accident. That was when the young London barristers handling the trust--Cantrip, Selena, Timothy, Ragwort, and Julia--summoned their Oxford friend Professor Hilary Tamar to Lincoln's Inn. Julia thinks it's murder. Hilary demurs. Why didn't the heiress die? But when the accidents escalate and they learn of the naked lunch at Uncle Rupert's, Hilary the Scholar embarks on the most perilous quest of all: the truth. n nDon't miss any of Sarah Caudwell's riveting Hilary Tamar mysteries: nTHUS WAS ADONIS MURDERED - THE SHORTEST WAY TO HADES - THE SIRENS SANG OF M
