7 Series

Roy Lewis is a British author known for his crime fiction series, including John Crow, Eric Ward, and Arnold Landon. His novels are often set in northern England, reflecting his own residence. Prior to his writing career, Lewis served as a college principal and Inspector of Schools. He is the father of three lawyers.

In "A Wolf by the Ears" by Roy Lewis, Stephen Kirk anticipates inheriting a fortune after his parents' death in a fire, but his legitimacy is questioned due to the absence of a will. As his solicitor, David Centre, delves into Kirk's complex family history, Kirk is arrested on a serious charge. Complicating matters, Kirk has no memory of the night his parents died. Centre uncovers multiple suspects with motives to eliminate Harry Kirk, Stephen's father. This standalone novel weaves a tangled web of inheritance and suspicion.
