Tagline: A rock legend never dies. Sometimes, he comes back as a ghost...
Book Description:
Lars Gunner, the frontman for Silent Plaids, died 23 years ago and his death was ruled an unfortunate accident. Despite the fact he can't recall what happened to him in his last moments of life, he is convinced he was murdered.
He has been trapped in limbo until his daughter, Cecilia, unearths his journal and is able to see him.
She seeks help from Kaleb, a psychic, but as they resurrect the past, the secrets and lies surrounding Lars' rock and roll life just may be the death of them too.
Excerpt:
(It is coming up
on the anniversary of rock star legend, Lars Gunner's death, 23 years and
counting. Every year, Cecilia's mother remembers the good old days by watching
old movies and drinking herself into oblivion. Worried, Cecilia pays her mother
a visit.)
"He's here,
you know," her mother whispered and her breath smelled like an ashtray.
"Who's
here?" she asked.
Her mother moved
away from her grip and walked over to the black roadie box, which had wheels
and a handle to make transporting equipment, music sheets, and other such items
from place to place that much easier. Her father had taken this one with him on
the road since his first concert when singing for his supper hadn't been a joke
but a reality. He never replaced it with a new one when the band had finally
made it big and gourmet banquets were set out for them as if they were royalty.
It was like having a lucky sock or coin, but his lucky item just happened to be
a beat up old roadie box. Her mother had one too, but hers had been custom made
with leopard fur and pink rhinestones.
Her mother's
hand slid over the black box, pausing over the dent in one corner as if that
particular dent held a fond memory. "Right after your father died, you
would come in here and stare at this beat up old thing. I would ask you what
you were doing." She glanced over her shoulder at her. "Do you
remember what you said?"
She shook her
head. Of course, she didn't. She was a toddler and those memories at that age
were far and in between and a bit fuzzy at best.
"You would
say: Daddy's playing his guitar and singing to me." Her mother pulled her
wrap closer around her for what little good the thin piece of material would do
to keep her warm. "You were always his little girl. Even in death, you
loved him more than me."
