Travel Guide

From Somerset to Hollywood

This is quite the trail as who would have though that a missing woman from Somerset with a sister in Lakeville, Minnesota could phone a detective in London to follow a trail which leads all the way to Holywood? Well yes, this book does and it also delves into the weird and wonderful world of Film and film history.

Stoke Point – is located in Devon on the South Devon coast and is a lovely walking area and beauty spot in real life.  In the novel, Stoke Point a beauty spot said to be located not far from Weston Super Mare in Somerset. A place for walkers and runners to go and spend a few hours on an adventure, out in the open air, a chance to relax and take in the views. Not a place for suicides. There is CCTV on the car parks and surrounding areas so when one women who had no reason to end her life or to escape her life in any way is seen going into the car park but not leaving, the plot thickens.

During the David Raker investigation, he discovers her disappearance could well be linked to not only a murder which took place in 1950s  Hollywood but the cover up which followed.

Somerset and Hollywood come together in a thrilling series of event and to say more would be to spoil the journey.
