The Death Of An Ordinary Man

Nathan's gravestone offers a short and hopeful At Rest. But Nathan is not at rest, and knows he won't be until he can find out how and why he died. A spectral spectator throughout the day of the wake, he listens to his wife, son, daughter, father, and best friend, getting to know them like he has never known them before. But there are two things he can't; a strange young couple on the fringes of the wake, whose presence fills him with dread; and a room in his house he never knew existed, with a door he feels compelled to open. A door that he knows will lead to a terrifying secret. Part detective story, part family portrait, part tale of the unexpected, The Death Of An Ordinary Man is an unflinching look at the margins of human experience, where the boundaries of fundamental feelings - love, grief, desire, shame, and hope - meet and mingle, and no motivation is as simple as it seems.
