* 4 Sample Chapters * When an eccentric old neighbour dies and names Violet March in his will, she is even more surprised than his estranged and spoiled family. To make matters stranger, she learns that all must attend a pretend murder-mystery weekend for any to claim a share of the inheritance. Being a good sport under constant scrutiny and suspicion becomes trickier when she finds herself torn between the romantic attentions of both the deceased's "favourite" grand-nephew and the charming black sheep of the family. Loyalty forces her to favour the former, but when it is the latter who inherits the bulk of the estate, a grave case of mistaken identities is revealed leaving Violet to determine whether pride and an unwillingness to be labelled a gold-digger may stand in the way of the love of a lifetime. *Cover from "Lake Louise, An Alpine Wonderland" by Norman Fraser, which is to the best of my research and knowledge in the Public Domain. *No part of this book may be reproduced or used in any manner without the express written permission of the author.

Pangalawa, ang mga commoner (middle class napamumuhay). At ang huli ang pinakamataas na antas ng pamumuhay, ang mga bidders. Kung bakit bidders? Sila ang may kakayahan para bumili ng mga bid o kahit na commoner para mailipat ang kanilang memory gene sa ibang katawan at masabing imortal sila. Ang memory gene na ito ay inimbento ng kompanyang MEMO© na hawak ng kasalukuyang diplomatic government. Isang eksperimontong pumasa sa Europe at patuloy na ginagamit ng mga bidders upang mabuhay sa kahit gaano pa kahabang siglo.
