Elektra

by D.H. Smith

Seaview is a rundown estate, demoralised with no one in work. When Rio’s family mini market is in trouble, she decides to contact its most famous former resident, Elektra the superstar, now the world’s richest woman, to ask for help. And to everyone’s amazement, Elektra responds, saying she’ll come to Seaview and do a show for them. The media go mad, everyone wants a piece of the action. But Rio finds information on Elektra shrouded in mystery. The estate though is wildly spending money in expectation of what they will get from her. But what will they get? And why is she really coming?

About the author

I write under two names: DH Smith and Derek Smith.

DH Smith is the name I am using for my crime series, Jack of All Trades, set in the area of East London (UK) where I live. 12 have been published to date.

I began by writing plays, and have had them produced on radio, TV and the stage. I was involved in a community bookshop in the 80s, and began writing for children. I have had three books for young adults published by Faber and one by Walker Books. The rest of my children's books are self published.

In 2013 I began writing my Jack of All Trades crime series. They are all printed by my own imprint Earlham Books. Both my identities are on my website:

In 2019, I published 'Writing a Crime Novel' for would-be crime writers. It utilises my experience of writing crime novels and teaching writing.
