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. Inheritance becomes deadly in this gripping literary puzzle--the second installment of the Hilary Tamar mysteries that began with Thus Was Adonis Murdered . Foreword by A. J.

It 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.

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.
