One phone call can change everything...

Miles de Cogan thought that he was set to live out a simple life with a cantankerous old lady for his landlord, but this is all turned on its head with a phone call. Being a de Cogan by name and blood, Miles is overjoyed when he finds out that he no longer has to live the life of an impoverished Dublin bookkeeper. Inheriting a prosperous estate called County Wicklow and the title to go along with it, Miles learns of the death of his cousin, a baronet.

Excited to get started with his new role, Miles is keen to fully immerse himself in village life, although he is nervous of the rules he must now adhere to. Being a generous man of progressive ideas one of Miles's first aims is to develop and improve the village flour mill and he soon finds himself envisaging his life amongst these odd people. But the humdrum simple lifestyle of the Irish village is soon broken - with a murder...

Miles's overbearing neighbour Tom Reid is found, having died a painful and horrific death.

Is it Reid's plans to build a roadhouse and upset the old tradition of the village that has incurred the wrath of the Dangan residents, or is there something much more underhanded at play? Could it be the ghost of Mile's late predecessor that haunts everyone?

Sent to his Account is a thrilling murder mystery that leaves you wondering: can anyone really be trusted?
