Book Description

You think you got problems? Try being a rock star, mate. It’s 1984, and lead singer Jack St James is on cloud nine. He’s met the woman of his dreams and his rock band, Pirate, is on track to finish its sold-out American tour in four days. If only he hadn’t done some foolhardy things—things that threaten to derail the end of the tour and wreck his plans to retire to the English countryside. Namely, leaping from one hotel balcony to another eight stories above the ground, attracting the attention of the mainstream news media, and having his true identity revealed to the world. Now his all-powerful father knows exactly where he is and will move heaven and earth to punish him for calling himself “Jack.” How dare he use the name of his brother, his father’s heir and favored son who died a senseless and terrible death? And how dare he shame his father by becoming a rock star, instead of assuming his rightful place in English society? As Jack and band manager Dunk batten down the hatches, little do they know that they face not one but three rich and powerful men colluding to derail the final concerts in the tour: Jack’s evil father, their coked-up A&R executive, and a smarmy swami intent on kidnapping Jack’s new woman. Jack is finally facing the enemy of a lifetime, one he cannot predict or control, and the dream life he’s worked so hard to attain hangs in the balance.
