Adelaide in Four Movements

The unsettling tale of four young women who share a strange and deadly secret. It is generally accepted that to have a soul is to be individual - but what if more than one person considers they share the same soul? How would they resolve this? A contemporary fantasy-thriller set in Dublin, presented in the pompous tones of the observing psychiatrist. The plot covers the lives of four girls who incidentally share the same name of Adelaide. A mystery of past and present psychological connections unravels, with dire consequences to almost all concerned. A psychiatrist's journal: case abandoned, not closed.
