'Wonderful... Leo Hollis knows the expanding city like the back of his hand, and brings a forensic eye and a deep empathy to the mystery at the heart of Mary Davies's tragic life... Inheritance is a consistently enthralling read.' -- Helen Castor, author of Joan of Arc 'A fascinating insight into a tragic backwater of London's history, yet from which one of its most magnificent estates emerged...' * Simon Jenkins, author of A Short History of London * 'Hollis expertly weaves together the human tragedy and high politics behind the explosion of one of the world's greatest cities. His scholarship and storytelling make the seventeenth century seem so familiar.' * Dan Snow, Death or Victory: The Battle for Quebec and the Birth of Empire * 'Leo Hollis combines meticulous research with his trademark style once again in this perceptive and humane book on one of modern London's most significant origin stories.' -- Lucy Inglis, author of Georgian London: Into the Streets 'Identifying an authentic seventeenth-century mystery, Leo Hollis uses the form of the classic detective story to deliver a fast-moving and forensic account of the birth and development of the London property market. Here is a valuable addition to the literature of the city in another period of cancerous growth.' -- Iain Sinclair, author of The Last London
