Spectral Gallows

Maxx Watts and partner Blaine Spartan blew through the door of The Chuck Wagon Diner, grabbing a table before the lunch crowd hit. They quickly picked up on a heated dialog at the next table concerning police fabricating a suicide ruling. "I tell you, it was murder!" spat a hulky man dressed in black, slamming his fist on the table. Confronting the two men, "Hulk" bailed out, leaving his companion behind. The detectives were told the argument concerned an uncle who hanged himself in the Scott Theater over forty years ago. Riveted by the man's claim, Watts and Spartan visit the dungeon where the death occurred. The phenomena they saw and whispers of murder commit them to resolving the case. Had the dead man's spirit been leaving clues or had this all been a diversion so another murder could take place? Uncertain whether to believe in the netherworld, Watts must confront his father's past to determine his future with CSI tech Daisy Woods.
