OverviewA young man returns to London from the family plantation in the Caribbean after an absence of six years to be at his father's deathbed - and to inherit his estate. But is the new arrival who he says he is, or an impostor? Anyone who doubts his identity seems to meet an untimely end, but his sister swears that he is her beloved brother. With their investigations leading them into the complicated world of inheritance law and due process after death, Constable Sam Plank and his loyal lieutenant William Wilson come face to face with the death trade and those who profit from it - legally or otherwise. Among them is an old enemy who has used his cunning and ruthlessness to rise through the ranks of London's criminal world. And, in this sixth novel in the series, it's now 1829: as plans progress for a new police force for the metropolis, Sam and his wife Martha look to the future.

Table of ContentsReviews"""Once again in Heir Apparent, the author has given us an adventure which takes us on a riotous journey through London, and beyond, into a dangerous criminal underworld of forged identity, dastardly dealings and general skulduggery. The historical research is impeccable, the nature of the crime is explained in minute detail and the way in which the mystery is solved is expertly concluded in a way which has you nodding your head in wry agreement. As always the author brings time and place vividly alive and it is no exaggeration when I say that the Sam Plank Mysteries are perhaps one of the best historical crime series I have read."" Jaffareads Too book blog ""The characters and their relationships have a believable authenticity, as do the City and surrounding countryside accounts. The weaving of religious beliefs and humanitarianism, commerce and the judiciary through the whole is a mastery of the researcher's art; Ms Grossey's descriptions are thorough and yet never dull.""
