Reverend George McAnthony has just lost his only son. He has only a few months to live, and to produce another son to inherit the McAnthonysa estates, which are primogeniture by rights, seems impossible. Swimming in these problems, he jets out to Chicago for a probable son who is later realized to not be the right candidate to the estates as was claimed by his first daughter. Chaos sets in when the Reverend eventually dies without an heir, because the multimillion-dollar estates are at risk of being swindled by an ineligible McAnthony and a favored impostor. Then the quest for the real heir begins and even extends to Africa. The longer the quest, the harder the race against time and the more complicated the puzzles. What, then, is the relationship between a murder committed in New York and this quest that seems unending?
