Four swords against a deadly shadow.</i></p><p>When a mysterious letter summons D'Artagnan to his family estate in Gascony, duty and honor compel him to answer the call. His father has died suddenly, leaving the ancestral lands without a master. The young musketeer must return home to claim his inheritance and fulfill his obligations.</p><p>True to their oath, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis refuse to let their brother face this burden alone. But what begins as a solemn journey swiftly darkens when they discover a terrible truth: D'Artagnan's father was murdered.</p><p>As the four friends dig deeper into the countryside's secrets, they uncover a web of jealousy, vengeance, and betrayal.

In Gascony's rolling hills and ancient châteaux, even the sharpest blades may not be enough to keep them all alive.</p><p><i>The Gascon's Heir</i> - When death strikes at the heart of family, only brotherhood stands between justice and the grave.</p>THIS BOOK WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED BY BERKLEY PRIME CRIME UNDER THE TITLE <i>A Death In Gascony.</i>
