PLAY ME! – FINALIST – 2025 PAGE TURNER AWARDS

The most dangerous gig of his life

AxMan Flyn is desperate to make his mark. A fading British rock-star, he grabs a chance to front a high-profile charity concert in the Caribbean and do some good in the world. But hardly has he arrived than he stumbles in on the assassination of the island’s president in a coup.

And, to his horror, the new gangster-president frames him as the killer.

AxMan has to go on the run, chased by a police force which is determined to stop him revealing the truth.

A real softie, despite a tough stage image, he is forced to come out of his shell and fight for his life.

But of course nothing is ever straightforward and AxMan’s hunger for fame keeps getting in the way – along with his over-eager fans.
