About the book

A rock star framed for murder. A gig he’ll never forget.

Hapless rock star AxMan Flynn is determined to revive his career. His one-and-a-half heavy metal hits were many years in the past, but he still believes he can climb back.

When he accepts a chance to front a charity concert in the Caribbean, he does not expect to stumble upon the island’s president being assassinated or to become entangled in a deadly plot.

Framed for murder, condemned to death and far from his usual comforts, AxMan must survive gangsters, modern-day pirates, jungle toilets and his own spectacular lack of preparation.
