Rock & Roll Never Forgets Book #1 of the JP Kinkaid Chronicles by Deborah Grabien (See more about the Author) |
The last thing Hall of Fame rock band Blacklight need to hear is that ruthless
tabloid biographer Perry Dillon is planning a tell-all history of their group.
The issue hits hardest for English ex-pat guitarist JP Kinkaid, with his history of
heroin addiction, his estranged wife, and his long-term relationship with a girl
he met when she was a teenager. Dealing with his multiple sclerosis
makes it even trickier.
JP's main concern is to preserve both his own privacy and that of Bree Godwin, his fiercely protective girlfriend. But it's obvious from the first question that Dillon is digging deep. And he's not planning to stop until he hits rock bottom. Dillon's looking for trouble, the kind that garners publicity and sells books. What he finds is the kind of trouble someone will go to any length to cover up, and that includes murder.
