Lesser Expectations Kenneth J Matthews

Within one week of entering his own name into the Google search engine on the Internet, and getting in touch with a website, Thomas Job Mitchell and Lauren Ross his partner, are experiencing odd and unsettling things happening around their family. Things come to a head when they receive a telephone call asking them to attend a meeting in Edinburgh, where Tom learns that his father, reported killed in action in WW2 was not killed and has just died. At the reading of his father's will, Tom learns that 98% of his father's business, "Windmill Developments," a multi-billion-dollar company, has been left to him. To add to Tom's bewilderment, he learns he has a half-brother, Junior, a serial killer, who has fled to Brazil to escape several murder charges. When the details of his father's Will are revealed to Junior Mitchell, he learns of this half-brother. To compound his shock at this revelation he discovers his father has disowned him in favour of this newly-discovered son, and has left everything to the half-brother... Junior's mentor in Brazil is a powerful man, Lord Bradscot, who is the owner of a snuff film studio and whose only interest in Junior Mitchell is relieving him of the expected fortune. Both men are outraged when they learn the fortune has gone to the newly revealed half-brother. However, because of a clause common in high value Wills, Junior has a month to kill his half-brother and claim the fortune. Junior Mitchell and all the forces at his command have one month to kill Thomas Job Mitchell. Thomas Job Mitchell has to try and survive that month!
