Argyle's Bequest

By G. Anthony Birkenhead

'Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.' That piece of wisdom resonates in David Drew's mind as he finds himself embroiled in the midst of a family of greedy siblings and grandchildren. At a time when the family should be united, grieving the loss of a father and grandfather, they squabble and fight over his legacy. Why is Drew there? What has he to do with any of this?

These questions bombard the reluctant private investigator as he ferrets his way through a maze of spoiled, narcissistic brats who couldn't care less about their dead relative. All they want is their share of his estate; an estate worth hundreds of millions. An estate Budge Argyle, the wealthiest man in the city, has bequeathed to Drew. All he has to do is find Budge's killer.

With nothing to lose and everything to gain, Drew accepts the challenge. The only problem: He has no evidence to prove the old man was murdered, and he has only 72 hours to solve the mystery and bring the murderer to justice. If he succeeds, the entirety of Budge's estate is bequeathed to him. For a down and out private eye it's the case of a lifetime. For the suspects, it's time to point fingers. For the murderer, it's time to kill again.
