Dead Town

Dead Town Synopsis

Melissa Clarke digs up London's unsolved crimes. Her blog is called Deadtown. Now she's dug up something that got her killed. Detective Mary Hume stares at the crime scene in confusion. She's in an empty flat. Peeling wallpaper. A bloodstained chair in the middle of the room. But no body. Her sergeant hands her a burner phone. On it is a video clip. A woman is tied to the chair in the flat, a carving knife pressed to her throat. As Mary watches in horror, the blade flashes across the woman's exposed skin. She slumps forward, lifeless. A piece of cardboard has been placed on the woman's lap. Written on it in blood-red is one word: DEADTOWN.
