English Summary/英文概要： A LETHAL INHERITANCE – Vol.1 of the Tom Knight series
Tom Knight is a private investigator well north of 70. After years of solitude following the death of his wife, he finally returns to the dating scene and meets the enchanting Fran. When Fran (53) discovers that Tom is not the advertised 59, she swears she never wants to see him again - but circumstances dictate otherwise. Fran is on duty when three elderly ladies in her care at a retirement home are found dead. A syringe with traces of heroin is found in her bag and the police leap to the obvious conclusion. It falls to Tom to prove Fran is innocent and unmask the real killer, going undercover at the care home and relying on everyone’s tendency to underestimate the elderly in order to succeed.
A Lethal Inheritance introduces a memorable hero for fans of Jackson Brodie and Cormoran Strike, and a cast of characters whose own stories will unfold in this and the second novel to feature Tom Knight.
