Mortal: A Ghost Story

International Goth Rockers MORTAL begin to fracture during a world tour, following a series of personal tragedies; just as their American management is infiltrated by an organised crime ring, who fear the band will split before they can recover their investment. Desperate to avoid financial losses, the band's unofficial backers plot to kill the singer and replace him, so a tribute tour can be organised to cover their costs. Within a week, MORTAL's lead singer Cal Clare is brutally murdered on stage in Leeds and several key members of their management team are savagely killed in mysterious circumstances. Cal's sister, Raven, vanishes from their hotel with a valuable statuette, but the police are baffled and the investigation stalls . The case is eventually paused and classified as unsolved while the band continues to tour with two new members. Ten years later, a journalist for ROCK SOUNDS magazine and her editor are killed arranging a feature on Cal Clare. Has a ghost returned for a second time to wreak havoc on the living and what can be done to stop it?
