A Fortune-Teller's Desperate Gamble
On Brighton Pier, twenty-one-year-old Harriet "Hal" Westaway reads tarot cards for tourists, using her keen observational skills rather than any mystical ability. Three years after her mother's death in a hit-and-run accident, Hal barely survives on her meager earnings. When a loan shark's enforcers start threatening her, desperation sets in. Then, like a miracle, a letter arrives from a solicitor in Penzance informing her that her grandmother, Hester Westaway, has died and named her as a beneficiary. There's just one problem-Hal's grandparents died decades ago. This must be a case of mistaken identity. Yet as she researches Trepassen House online and discovers it's an impressive country estate, hope flickers. Could even a small inheritance solve her financial troubles? Despite knowing it's wrong, Hal wonders if she could pull it off. After all, isn't she uniquely qualified to play this role with her skills as a cold reader? When one of the loan shark's men breaks into her flat and destroys her belongings-including the only photo of her mother-something breaks inside her. She books a train to Penzance, deciding to take her chances with the mysterious inheritance.
