Diane's Deli: A Tale from Paradise Heights
Joe O’Byrne returns with another tale in the critically acclaimed series of Supernatural meets Northern Noir plays Tales from Paradise Heights –About Diane's Deli: A Tale from Paradise Heights
Sean Ginty is a café owner in Paradise Heights. A quiet and unassuming man who wears a watch that stopped over 25 years ago. He’s a father figure to both his staff; literary student Jake, and Gabrielle, an artist and scarred survivor of a horrific fire that left her orphaned some years ago. It seems to be a quiet idyllic existence. But who is the mysterious Angel of The Heights, and more disturbingly – is something haunting the café?
DS Mackey, from the local police, is a burnt out and bitter man with an eye for opportunity and the other eye on Sean; he is more than curious about his past.
When a woman turns up in the café late one night, a chain of events is set in motion that will have devastating effects on all their lives…
