Pericles “Perry” Christo is a PI with a past—a former cop,
who lost his badge and his family when a corruption scandal
left him broke and disgraced. When wealthy Upper East Side
matron Julia Drusilla summons him one cold February night,
he grabs what seems to be a straightforward (and lucrative)
case.
The socialite is looking for her beautiful, aimless
daughter, Angelina, who is about to become a very wealthy
young woman. But as Christo digs deeper, he discovers
there’s much more to the lovely “Angel” than meets the eye.
Her father, her best friend, her boyfriends all have agendas
of their own. Angel, he soon realizes, may be in grave
danger . . . and if Christo gets too close, he just might
get caught in the crossfire.
This classic noir tale twists and turns down New York’s mean
streets and along Hamptons’ beaches and back roads during a
bitterly cold and gray winter where nothing is as it seems
and everyone has something to hide. In an inventive
storytelling approach, each writer brings his or her
distinctive voice to a chapter of Inherit the Dead, building
the tension to a shocking, explosive finale.
