DESCRIPTION
One-hit wonder Rudy Keen is talking at last, and what he has to say about the seedy underside of the rock & roll world of the 50s & 60s will shake, rattle and roll the recording industry down to its core, and shock die-hard fans. Rock legends Sam Cooke, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper, Brian Jones, all murdered! But hold the presses for the really big news--Buddy Holly survived that airplane crash in 1959.

PRAISE FOR THE WINTER DANCE PARTY MURDERS
"Bop-Sha-Bop! At last, Greg Herriges is back with a new novel--a delightfully preposterous satire of the American obsession with conspiracy theories and celebrity dirt--this time with a rock 'n' roll back beat! Here is a novel full of belly laughs, terrific schtick, magical happenings, and more than a tincture of rock nostalgia and lore. Don't sit this one out!"
