Everyone in the family agreed to support the heiress, ravishing raven-haired Camilla Galloway, in her court petition -- except dreary Cousin Deirdre, who suddenly demanded a small fortune for her signature. Then 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....
