A Dish Served Cold
    thriller 2m 4f full length
   
  Jay Hillman

40-60

When gold-digging wife Lynn discovers her husband is chatting on the Internet with another woman, and fearing someone else will move in on her wealthy lifestyle, she sets about planning to kill him.

The plan seems foolproof, except that when she carries it through and shoots him, she is contacted by the other woman, who has witnessed the murder, unbeknown to Lynn, on a web camera, and has recorded it as evidence. And she wants Lynn’s inheritance.

Lynn and her policeman boyfriend entrap the blackmailer and attempt to destroy the evidence, but the woman is one step ahead - unless she enters a secret password every day, all the evidence will be sent to the police...

Look out for the World premiere of "A Dish Served Cold" by the Bookham Players  from 13th-15th November 2008.
