'The Shadow Idol' by A.C. Boler is a gripping tale of fame, regret and redemption, delivering a unique blend of 1960s rock mythology and page-turning suspense.
Joe Hawkins was America's most notorious Sixties rock star, but did he fake his own death to live a new life of freedom? Tyler Rafferty risks everything to discover the truth...
San Francisco, 1987. In a locked hospital room, psychiatric patient William Kendrick claims to be Joe Hawkins, wild lead singer of Sixties rock band The Gracious Dawn, who died in 1970. Psychology student Tyler Rafferty is on the verge of failing college and is drawn into a dark labyrinth of mind games, to discover if William really is Joe Hawkins or a dangerous fantasist and master manipulator.
From Los Angeles to Paris, Joe Hawkins' extraordinary life story emerges, rising from humble poet to decadent rock idol. Tyler is running on lost time to solve the mystery of William Kendrick's identity to uncover an explosive secret hidden from the world.
A.C. Boler is a British author who has spent the last twenty-five years working in some of the world's most prolific entertainment companies from MTV to Sony Music. The Shadow Idol is her debut novel.
