Shadow Heir

In the grimy port city of Greyhaven, a destitute dockworker named Corvin murders and assumes the identity of wealthy merchant Aldric Vane. To claim Vane's fortune and escape his own ruin, Corvin must master every minute detail of the dead man's life—his signature, his gout, his secretive dealings with the Social Pensions Bureau. But as Corvin perfects the mask, he finds Aldric's memories and reflexes bleeding into his own, and the bureau's claims investigator begins to notice irregularities that no amount of technical accuracy can explain.
