Uncovered

They aren’t quite as popular as they once were. Their CDs aren’t selling, people are not attending their live shows and interest in the band is almost non-existent. They hit rock bottom one night in Huddersfield when five people and a dog turn up to see the show and the singer falls off the stage and lands on the dog, killing it.

After the gig, on the verge of packing it all in, someone jokingly comments that they’d probably get a bigger audience as a tribute band. So, they decide to give it a try and Thor’s Hammer take to the stage.

Whilst Mjollnir may not be in demand, Thor’s Hammer, the cover band, certainly is. It isn’t long before they are doing such great business that the genuine article is once more being courted by the fans and press alike.

Rock impresario, Dan D. Lion wants them for his ‘Classic RockFest’ at Donington Park. There’s lots of money at stake and all the band has to do is ensure that no one finds out what they’ve been up to.

It all seems so easy until journalist Dave Malcolm gets suspicious, so, the band’s manager, Mac Biggar, decides to have him kidnapped for a while. That’s when things start to get weird. Dave’s friend Max Darkness turns up and after Dave is released, the two go on a road trip, determined to see that justice is done.

But who is guilty and of what?

There’s the small matter of the band’s first singer – he was murdered and his ghost appears to be haunting the band. Now his remains have been found, but who murdered him? It could be anyone.

How about effete snob and Mjollnir keyboard player, Hampton Court, or his heavily armed butler, Turret?

There’s no end to the list of possible suspects. Could it be mad Geordie bass player Gordon ‘Gimme’ Moore? Black, Irish ex-punk, Dermot ‘Septic’ Murphy, or even the new boy, psychotic drummer Zil?

Last but not least, there’s Mjollnir’s American guitarist Tyler Kennedy Woodrow Davidson III, who is being hunted down by the girl he got pregnant eighteen years earlier, her crazy redneck brothers and the eighteen year-old daughter he’s never seen.
