The Quincunx - Charles Palliser
KORTE INHOUD
Set in nineteenth-century England, this tale of disinheritance, murder and deception links together a quincunx of families - the Huffams, the Mompessons, Clothiers, Maliphants and Palphramonds. The link is the codicil to the will of the wealthy but long-deceased Jeoffrey Huffam. John Huffam's mother holds the codicil, but many others will stop short of nothing, including murder, to get it.
