EPITAPH FOR TOMMY
Tommy is an innocent bystander who's
accidentally killed during a swordfight between MacLeod and the
Immortal Anthony Gallen. Haunted by what he sees as an unnecessary
death, MacLeod tries to find out more about the dead man - and
discovers he isn't exactly the innocent bystander he appeared.

A nothing story, and in many ways typical of many Seacouver-based
