So many bright, young music stars lost too soon. Tragic consequences of the pop-rock lifestyle or calculated casualties of a far more sinister plot? Sent on a mission by the mysterious Mr. Atibon to discover who really killed Jimi Hendrix, Daniel Erickson uncovers a conspiracy that reaches the highest government offices and corporate boardrooms. When devilish music promoter Haden Koschei sets his sights on a new pair of victims, Daniel’s quest gets personal, as he and his hit man friend, Moog, race down the highway to hell to save their loved ones. It’s a long and winding road, beset with maniacal FBI agents, corporate commandos, and crazed Mexican drug lords. Before Daniel can make it to the big finale, he must first face his own destiny. Star Killer Star is a smart, fast-paced thriller that asks: If fame is power, who controls it? And what are they using it for? From the acclaimed Crossroads series, a tale of murder, mayhem, and music.
Rock Island Rock continues the Crossroads Thriller series from where Blues Highway Blues, voted Best Blues Book of 2012 by Blues411.com, left off. In the shadow of the mysterious bluesman, Mr. Atibon, reluctant hero Daniel Erickson, his hitman friend, Moog Turner, and his girlfriend, Vicki Bean, are crisscrossing America to follow the musical clues that lead to a rock-and-roll superstar's killer. Along the way they'll encounter obsessive FBI agents, vengeful Russian mobsters, ruthless cartel assassins, and psychotic bikers. The greatest danger, though, may lie at the end of the road, where a trap has been set by an evil greater than any of them could imagine.
"Price has proven he is more than a one-hit wonder. All the while he is weaving the lyrics of a novelist's song, he draws the reader into a world of rock and roll and supernatural intrigue. Eyre Price is rock fiction's front man." - Rick Robinson, bestselling author of Alligator Alley
Music mogul Daniel Erickson's life has come to a perilous crossroads. Literally. He has a ruthless pair of killers on his tail and is chasing a million dollars that he owes a Russian mobster. Standing along the same Mississippi highway where legend claims that bluesman Robert Johnson traded his immortal soul for matchless command of the guitar, Daniel finds himself on a path that parallels the evolution of American music from the Mississippi Delta to New Orleans and on to Memphis, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia, the Jersey Shore, New York, and Seattle. At every stop, Daniel's tour gets more dangerous with the hit men closing in, an FBI agent obsessed with his capture, and a rogue motorcycle gang hunting him down. Blues Highway Blues, Eyre Price's debut novel, is a compelling and unique combination: part edge-of-your-seat road trip across America and part examination of the music that comprises its soundtrack.
