Sex, drugs, rock... and murderOnetime underground journalist Sandy Blair has travelled far from his radical roots in the '60s - until the bizarre and brutal murder of a millionaire rock promotor draws him back.As Sandy sets out to investigate the crime, he finds himself on a magical mystery tour of the pent-up passions of his generation. For a new messiah has resurrected the once legendary rock band Nazgul - but with an apocalyptic new beat that is a requiem of demonism, mind control, and death only Sandy may be able to change in time...This early novel from George RR Martin, bestselling author of A Game Of Thrones, takes the reader deep into the murky underbelly of the '60s rock scene. Peopled by misfits, beatniks and drug fiends, it's no wonder that not everyone survived.
