Okay, let's get the celebrity-talk-show-stuff out of the way first--Simon Tolkein is the grandson of the esteemed British novelist J. R. R. Tolkein. That might be nice for some to know, but it doesn't matter because Simon Tolkein is an excellent writer in his own right.In "The Inheritance", we are taken to the Old Bailey where 22-year-old Stephen Cade is on trial for the murder of his estranged father. Stephen, the son, was recently cut out of his father's will, denied a request for money, had met with his father in the family library (where the body was found) and his finger prints were on the gun next to the body. So is this a slam dunk? Not to the investigator in charge of the case, Detective Inspector William Trave. Before this young man is sentenced, Trave decides to dig deeper into this compelling mystery.
