Although the action of the story takes place in the Avon & Somerset Constabulary area, the story itself and all the characters in it are entirely fictitious. At the time of writing, there is no police station in Highbridge. This has been drawn entirely from the author’s imagination to ensure no connection is made between any existing police station or personnel in the force and the content of the novel. Similarly, despite reference to some actual streets and villages, any specific premises mentioned, such as the café and funeral directors in Highbridge and the cottage in Burtle, are all figments of the imagination and any connection between them and existing properties is entirely coincidental.
