What this book is about
Hugo Darracott is the unexpected heir to his grandfather's estate—a plain-spoken northerner who seems to embarrass everyone. His family schemes to be rid of him; his cousin Anthea finds him inexplicably appealing. The Unknown Ajax is one of Heyer's funniest, with an irresistible hero who is far cleverer than he pretends.
