He inherited his family's estate, his family's debts, and his family's very specific curse. The solicitor who handled the estate had known about all three for forty years. Edward Ashworth, 34, returns to his family's decaying Victorian estate in Yorkshire after a decade in London following his estrangement from his father. His father has died, leaving him the estate, its substantial debts, and a solicitor who has been managing the estate's affairs with unusual independence.
