'A DANGEROUS INHERITANCE follows the lives of two Greek immigrant families who made Sydney their home in the nineteen fifties. From humble beginnings and hard work one family opened a restaurant in suburban Newtown, the other family could not adapt to the Australian way of life and returned to their home country leaving their 16 year old son, Sev, to fend for himself. He worked his way through university and in later years became a successful solicitor. From humble beginnings with the restaurant an empire was built importing kitchen appliances and foodstuffs from Europe. In later years love blossomed and families grew to take over management of the business. Then corruption entered the scene and the empire was threatened from within and by an international drug cartel. The book runs the full gamut from greatest love to deepest despair, drugs, corruption, and finally redemption.'
