Publisher's Synopsis
On a frigid Friday afternoon in February, Eleanor Harkness shows up at the door of the "granite palace," Sherrod Colsne's New York townhouse. Her unexpected yet incredibly timely appearance not only knocks Colsne's normally unflappable assistant, Monty Weston, off stride, but takes both of them down a winding path of romance, past and present, and decades-old, bitter hatred. Though only four days actually elapse in the telling, Murder by Bequest is a story spanning over twenty-five years, three continents, and two primary cultures, and surrounding America's foremost family of wealth, and social and political position.
