A Flight Home Richard F Jones

Casper Watkins was an internationally famous author. His political thrillers had topped the best-sellers lists all over the world and won him critical acclaim. Then for no apparent reason he disappeared. Jenny Millington had recently started work in the fiction department of his London publishers. Under pressure to improve their sales figures her inquisitive nature leads her into the trail of intrigue and innuendo that surrounds Casper's life. She meets his agent, Henson Littlewood, a known homosexual who dabbles in drugs. After their meeting he is murdered. In North Wales, Jenny discovers that Casper has an illegitimate brother, Trevor, who only his mother knows about. Caroline Di Angello, one of Casper's ex-girlfriends, was a page-three pin-up actress, who found fame in a 'Soap'. Together they were going to make a movie. It was said that he was going to put up some of the money, then he disappeared. A chance encounter brings Jenny into Casper's life. His new book is a novel of love and passion, based on the stories of the Mabinogion; a collection of eleventh century Welsh tales of romance and drama. When he realises his heroine in the story is Jenny Millington, he has to make her his muse. Somehow, Jenny and Casper combine to put together the pieces of improbity that led to the death of his dear friend and agent Henson Littlewood.
