The Senmore Square

Whilst investigating the death of a local psychiatrist, a Godlike homemaker called Howard Handover uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, evil rock circulating throughout Viorro. As soon as anyone uses the rock, he or she has exactly 8 days left to live.

The doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look mirrored. A marked person feels like a cursed dog to touch.

Howard gets hold of the rock, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flash into his mind: a magical pigeon balancing on a mystifying psychiatrist, an old newspaper headline about a hit and run accident, a hooded owl ranting about hands and a drinking well located in a deserted place.

When Howard notices his fingers have dog-like properties, he realises that the curse of the evil rock is true and calls in his friend, a lawyer called Andrew MacDonald, to help.

Andrew examines the rock and willingly submits himself to the curse. He finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. He finds the magical pigeon balancing on a mystifying psychiatrist particularly chilling. He joins the queue for a supernatural death.

Howard and Andrew pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded owl. Will they be able to stop the curse before their time is up?
