Description
Walden Yapp's life has been a solitary one, spent highlighting the flaws of the upper-classes from the comfort of his office. Now, he's been hired by Lord Petrefact to write a damaging family history, a prospect that fills him with anticipation. As he delves into the Petrefact family's secrets, Yapp's presence in the town of Buscott sparks a chain of events that ends in death, destruction, and a murder trial. The consequences of his actions are far-reaching, and nothing will ever feel the same again. Yapp's investigation is a complex web of deceit and corruption, where nothing is as it seems. With his computer, Doris, as his only confidante, Yapp must navigate a world of provoking marital problems, erotic toy factories, and other secrets that threaten to destroy the town. As the body count rises, Yapp finds himself at the center of a deadly game, one that he may not survive. A darkly comedic tale of murder, mayhem, and the corrupting influence of power, Ancestral Vices is a gripping and unsettling read.
