Clash of Wills — Robert Bell

When informed his father had died, Ray knew he had to do the right thing, even though they'd not spoken in years. Determined to face his demons, he returned to his England, only to discover the realities weren't as he'd imagined and that a world of new problems had to be faced.
There was one particular demon. Shirley.
He made the vultures wait. There was no other family; the funeral had to wait until he could attend. The facts were simple, or so he thought
Fact: His father was dead.
Fact: He could finally speak his mind.
Fact: Shirley had stolen his inheritance.
Fact: He needed to prepare.
Fact: He was dreading every minute of the trip.
