What to expect
Belladonna's only child, a son, had been stolen from his cot twenty years previously and has never been seen since; shortly after the infant's disappearance, Belladonna had blown himself up in an experiment gone wrong, leaving his entire fortune to his son, to pass to him on his 21st birthday. Now, with that date looming, not one but seven young men have come forward. But which, if any, is really the missing child?
