Murder Most Foul

A washed-up athlete. An unwanted school reunion. A disappearance.

I mean, the only highlight Johnny Roan had during his school years—other than scoring the winning touchdown in the big homecoming game senior year despite a fractured pinky—was that he managed not to fumble the famous lines from Hamlet’s father’s ghost. A huge accomplishment compared to when he played Julius Caesar and wound up decking the kid playing Brutus instead of letting himself be ‘murdered.’
