DEAD LETTER

Attending a university fancy dress ball should have been a matter of grinning and bearing it. Fancy dress isn't everyone's idea of a good time after all. For one man however the act of hiring a costume is to have consequences far beyond what any reasonable person could expect. What he hires is far more than just a costume. It is a mystery. A forgotten secret begins to emerge that has lain hidden for more than seventy years. What begins as a curious discovery quickly becomes a quest and then the quest becomes an obsession. But whose secret is it? With almost nothing to go on uncovering the secret is a trial of will that has its own cost. What the man discovers brings to light the story of a battle against evil fought in the dust of Southern Rhodesia before the Second World War but it also exposes something else something nobody could have expected.
