The trust - Ronald H. Balson (Liam Taggart & Catherine Lockhart #4)

Sixteen years ago, Liam Taggart left his native land after a bitter confrontation with his family, never to look back. But when Liam reluctantly returns to Northern Ireland for his beloved uncle’s funeral, he learns that not only was his uncle shot to death, he’d anticipated his own murder. In an astonishing last will and testament, Uncle Fergus has left his entire estate to a secret trust, directing that no distributions be made to any person until the killer is found. Did Fergus know but refuse to name his killer? Was this a crime of revenge? Or is it possible that the killer is a family member seeking Fergus’s estate? Otherwise, why postpone distribution to the heirs? Most menacingly, does the killer now have his sights on other family members?

As his investigation draws Liam further and further into the past he had abandoned, he is forced to reopen doors long ago shut. Now accepting the appointment as sole trustee of the Fergus Taggart Trust, Liam realizes he has stepped into the center of a firestorm.
