| About Book |
Frustrated former hippie novelist Sandy Blair becomes involved in the investigation of the brutal murder of rock promoter Jamie Lynch: the heart had been torn from Lynch's body. Lynch had managed several bands, including the legendary rock and roll group, the Nazgūl. He was found dead on the tenth anniversary of the Nazgūl's break up, his bloody body placed on top of the band's West Mesa concert poster; during that concert at West Mesa, New Mexico, the Nazgūl's lead singer Patrick Henry "Hobbit" Hobbins had been mysteriously murdered. Lynch's high- profile death soon opens the door for a Nazgūl reunion tour, which slowly begins to eerily mirror the events of their original West Mesa tour. Interviewing the surviving members of the band while tracking down his old friends from the '60s, Blair meditates on the meaning of the flower power generation as he criss-crosses the U.S. He eventually becomes the Nazgūl's press agent and is soon swept up in the oncoming supernatural convergence, whose nature he must uncover in order to solve the murders of Lynch and Hobbins.
The novel is notable for the detailed account of the history and repertoire of its imaginary rock band, including concert set lists and album track timings. Each of the novel's chapter headings open with actual famous rock lyrics, whose meanings resonate throughout that chapter. |
