4-6Archer Legacy series.
Illustrated by
Jonny Duddle.
A great-aunt Gerald never met leaves him twenty billion pounds and a note telling him to find her murderer. Threats from greedy strangers put Gerald on a search for a diamond casket whose importance he doesn't understand. The story's climax portends more mystery in later volumes. Gerald functions well as a normal kid mystified by his circumstances.
