Synopsis: Former LAPD detective Mike Travis returns in a novel of sex, drugs, rock and roll—and murder—from the award-winning author of Roadhouse Blues. The mystery has fascinated the music industry since 1977—the year when some tapes went missing from the Stone Blossoms&’ final recording session for one of the most anticipated rock albums of all time. The band&’s charismatic leader committed suicide on the same day. Retired cop Mike Travis learns about the puzzling history in the worst way possible. After sailing from Catalina to his family&’s old beach house in Kona, Hawaii, he discovers there&’s been a bloodbath. Five victims have been murdered, including his childhood friend&’s wife and a former Stone Blossoms guitarist, Danny Webb. And when his friend is suspected of going on a jealous rampage, it&’s up to Travis to prove his innocence. Turns out Webb was involved in a multi-million-dollar deal—providing he could produce the lost tapes. Travis knows just how toxic greed can be, but even he&’s not prepared for the violence to come . . . and just how close to home it will hit. &“A fast-paced look at the dark side of music and greed. I couldn&’t put it down.&” —Brad Freeman, K-Hawaii Radio &“The climax is fast-paced, just how a detective needs to work when he finally puts it all together.&” —Rapport magazine
