About this audiobook
His first challenge is to get one of the existing tenants to leave. His initial attention is on dispatching an elderly disabled man with a bad cough, whose demise appears to be imminent and inevitable. But after the death of this individual, the church authorities allocate that almshouse to a youngish widow. This lady proves to be quite a challenge...and his strategy for taking possession of her house backfires spectacularly....
