Description
Alex Hogg knows that he will drown on December 30th 2016. As the day of doom approaches, he makes several intriguing discoveries about the past. On December 30th 1816, Percy Bysshe Shelley married Mary Godwin, and on December 30th 1916, Rasputin was murdered in St Petersburg's Moika Palace. How do these events connect to Alex's fate? Part-comedy, part-mystery, Drowned Hogg Day is a gripping pacey read that keeps readers engaged until the end. The novel combines history, puzzle-solving, and entertainment, with four one-act plays included as an added bonus. Written by Nick Smith, who has also written Bridge Literature and won the 2014 Oxfordshire Drama Network's Playwriting Prize, Drowned Hogg Day is his first novel.
