Heirs of Hemlock

In the cold, rain-slicked city of Ashwick, the death of tycoon Alistair Blackthorn ignites a sinister inheritance war. When the disgraced adopted son, Julian, finds his world utterly annihilated by the family who cast him out, he discovers that orchestrating a cycle of slow poisonings is the only way to feel the pulse in his veins. As suspicion curdles into terror, the Blackthorn mansion becomes a stage where each act of silent murder confirms someone's desperate need to exist.
