The assailant walked through the cell wall! Bailey searched through her father’s diary, to find he was speaking to a paranormal investigator, as he thought he was being followed by a ghost. He also stated that there was a dirty cop, using evidence money to launder for himself. Everyone is a suspect, including her boss, and partner, who secretly has her father’s phone. With CCTV footage of the ghostly assailant in all cases, Bailey contacts Aled, the paranormal investigator. They find the drunk’s son is in a coma, who is solving the crime as an eidolon, a ghostly form living between life and death.

Creative notes: Eidolon is a crime thriller, with a supernatural hint of a twist. Eidolon in the dictionary, is classed as a spectre, who may or may not be dead. In this case, he is on the brink of death.
