About The Dance

The party was over. Alice McCoy was dead -- a depressed girl who'd taken a loaded gun to her head. At least that was what everyone thought. Everyone except Michael Olson. He knew it was no suicide. But how could he prove it? How could he catch a murderer that seemingly had the power to walk through walls? And how could he tell Jessica Hart that he loved her when she obviously preferred someone else? Michael did not know, but he would try his best. It will not be enough. For him or Jessica. The homecoming dance will end like the party -- in horror. The murderer will walk through another wall...
