It points her to a bar on the Baltimore Harbor, where she finds a stranger who has received the same mysterious letter about his own mother.

These secrets will transport them back decades, across continents, and to a mysterious crime long buried…until now.
Travel Guide
Travel BookTrail style to meet the Stansfields of Baltimore
A woman from London and a man from Canada come together to solve a mystery in Baltimore Maryland USA. This is a novel of Beatles influences – main characters are called Eleanor-Rigby and George Harrison and a mystery set in a moneyed house in the states.
The mansion house of the mysterious Stansfield family isn’t real of course, but there are many fine houses in and around the city of Baltimore to explore and imagine that that’s the one. The Homewood Museum for example is a home very similar to the one like the Stansfields and you could go here and imagine what might have taken place here…
Be sure to visit the harbour where the characters meet in that lovely little pub.
The settings act as a background rather than a character on their own, but it’s the intrigue in Baltimore that shines through.
