A short story:
The Inheritance is the second story in a mini-series of three short mysteries introducing ex-soldier turned private detective, Mark Kent. He becomes embroiled in a web of international business deals and family relationships where people do whatever it takes for money and success.
Along the way Kent struggles to adjust to civilian life and with feelings of alienation in a changing society where he meets the losers of financial power and the new owners of wealth.
In The Inheritance, Kent is hired by Olivia Campbell to find her missing diamond necklace. His investigation leads to her son, John Campbell, who is a struggling businessman harangued by his doting mother and taunted by the memory of his nagging wife. As Campbell's companies continue to fail he ventures into a deal with Chinese businessmen, and ends up fighting for his life
