Romantic Tragedy

Reads

While football fans lose themselves in the noise and celebration of a heated Wanderers match, Dycon sits alone in the darkest corner of The Hut; barefoot, overdressed and drinking as though he is trying to forget something. But the real nightmare is waiting for him at home. Behind his locked front door, shattered glass, overturned furniture and a terrified Christie surround the lifeless body of a mysterious woman. With crowded streets making escape impossible and time rapidly running out, Dycon proposes a desperate solution: hide the body in the ceiling. They believe they can cover their tracks. They believe this terrible night will pass. But in a tragedy born from love, the dead do not always remain hidden and neither do the secrets that killed them.
