Once again Heir Hunters is on the trail of people entitled to inherit money from long forgotten relatives.

Spinster Lily Fernandez died alone in Sidcup, her body lying undiscovered for several weeks. As Fraser and Fraser begins hunting for any relations, investigators discover that Lily actually owned not just one, but two properties. It is the first clue in a mystery that will lead the team from an unremarkable Kentish town to the evocative streets of Jamalpur in the Bengal region of India.

Closer to home, Cat Whiteaway is researching the case of Queenie Cobb, a born-and-bred Eastender who died in 2001. As Cat tries to bring together the pieces of Queenie's story, the shadow of illegitimacy soon falls over events and just when Cat believes that she has found the rightful heirs, the old lady springs a surprise.
