Inheritance of Poison

When university archivist Lucas Morrow discovers a rare Bolaño manuscript hidden in the vaults of Baird College, he believes he has found his escape from the suffocating shadow of the Morrow family trust. But the manuscript is merely the first clue in a labyrinthine conspiracy. As his ailing patriarch father's fortune hangs in the balance, Lucas's siblings and stepmother engage in a clandestine war of slow-acting toxins and fabricated criminal accusations. Framed for a sexual misconduct case that mirrors the college's notorious disciplinary failures, Lucas watches his academic career, reputation, and sanity dissolve. In the desolate tradition of Roberto Bolaño, Lucas embarks on a spectral journey through abandoned New England campuses, forgotten poetry archives, and the poisoned roots of his own lineage, discovering that the only way to prove he is still alive is to methodically destroy those who erased him.
