Strowan Westwood

Lady Strowan Westwood was once a famously beautiful actress and theatre star. The years have not been unkind to her, individually, but there have been a great many of them. Now, although she still retains a few vestiges of her former beauty, she is a tiny, wrinkled and rather crippled female. And also very rich.

Through her servant Tibbermore, Westwood engages Findo Gask to investigate the disappearance of her granddaughter with a precious and magical item of jewellery.

One of the cast of characters from the Findo Gask series of hard-boiled fantasy detective novels by Trevor Hopkins.

The series currently comprises nine books, all in various stages of completion:

• Findo Gask - Backstreet Magics: four chapters are now ready for review.
• Findo Gask - Underworld Investigations: a work in progress.

Most of the characters in the novels are based on place names in the Perth and Kinross region of Scotland, many of them close to the tiny village of Findo Gask.

Strowan Wood and West Wood are both wooded areas located between Comrie and Crieff in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
