Rock n Roll Suicide

Rock n Roll Suicide

by P-P Hartnett (Author)

Synopsis

The music business has been a frustration machine since Elvis started gyrating his hips and Jagger got licking his lips. Pop icons have been offered so lavishly for consumption that they cast an international spell, catalysing a fan culture which exists in isolation. Max is one such icon. At closer to seven feet than six, Max is a big rock star in more ways than one. When he goes missing at the end of an exhaustive forty-date tour, it is presumed the nineteen year old has committed suicide. Only one person knows the truth: she's his biggest fan, and she's not telling.
