If your great-aunt that you barely knew died and left you a billion dollars, what would you do? Twelve year old Gerald finds out that he has a great-aunt that he was named after - and that she just died. Strange things begin to happen - a private jet comes to take his family to the funeral, the media is suddenly after them to give interviews and his mother is actually happy for once! After the funeral, the will is read, and as people find out that they are left with a million dollars here or there, Gerald discovers that he has been left with twenty BILLION pounds, three houses, a yacht, a jet and an island in the Caribbean. His parents immediately leave him in the care of the butler and set off to check out his new Caribbean island - without him. Gerald has been left one additional thing: an envelope that contains a letter from his great-aunt. She believes that she is about to be murdered and leaves Gerald the task of uncovering who did it and why. This adventurous book follows Gerald as he encounters the scene of a robbery, a man who wants to kill him, a diamond that is worth almost as much as Gerald, and twins who are ready to help Gerald at every twist and turn. With time running out before his aunt's killer catches him, Gerald and his new friends must discover what everyone is looking for and how to outsmart those who want it as much as he does!
