FROM THE CREATOR OF DOWNTON ABBEY and THE GILDED AGE
A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
‘A gloriously funny ride through modern times’ Evening Standard
Damian Baxter is very, very rich. But he has but one concern, which is becoming more urgent at the weeks go by: who should inherit his fortune.
A letter from an ex-girlfriend suggests that, as a young man, Damian may have fathered a child, but the letter is anonymous.
Finding the truth will not be easy – and the only man who Damian can turn to for help also happens to be his sworn enemy…
‘A must-read’ Sunday Express
‘An elegant satire, it offers an entertaining commentary on our times and a heartfelt lament for a kinder, more courteous Britain’ Tatler
‘A witty take on the world as it was and is now’ Woman & Home
