Publisher's Synopsis

When he died, Nërëus Forbes, frontman of The Marshalls, was the most famous rockstar in the world.

40 years after his death, Nërëus' status as an icon is undisputed, but the circumstances around his death remain uncertain. Despite being ruled an overdose by police, fans and conspiracy theorists alike refuse to accept it was purely accidental.

In an attempt to uncover the truth, Winter Harris, an investigative journalist and daughter of The Marshalls guitarist, decides to interview those who knew Nërëus best. But when her father confesses a dark secret, hidden for decades, Winter suddenly has evidence that could bring both of their lives crashing down. . .

About the Publisher

Michael Joseph

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
