  Die now, pay later...It seemed the perfect way to avoid three million in taxes. Everyone in the family agreed to support the heiress, ravishing raven-haired Camilla Galloway, in her court petition to change the trust - except dreary cousin Deirdre. Then Deidre has a terrible accident which is when the young London barristers handling the trust - Cantrip, Selena, Ragwort and Julia - summon their Oxford friend and mentor Professor Hilary Tamar to Lincoln's Inn. They suspect foul play and so poor Hilary is dispatched on a most perilous quest to find the truth and unmask the killer...This witty and intriguing crime novel features the worldly yet principled young set of legal experts created by Sarah Caudwell - Cantrip, Ragwort, Julia and Serena.
