The Clue
As the investigation unfolds, Ghost’s friend and confidant Tommy Egan, played by Joseph Sikora, is revealed to be one of the few characters who knew Ghost’s whereabouts on the night of his death. The police suspect Tommy due to his close relationship with Ghost, but the investigation is not as straightforward as it seems.
