Fifty years ago, a famous rock star was murdered.

No one has ever known what happened. Until now...

******

Chelsea, 1977.
Rock icon Nereus Forbes is found dead behind a locked door.

The verdict: suicide.
The whispers: murder.

Decades later, Winter Harris is still haunted by rumours that her father — Nereus’s one-time closest friend and collaborator — was to blame.

Determined to uncover the truth, she delves into the glittering, treacherous world of seventies rock: a place of fame, envy and betrayal.

But as old secrets resurface and her search turns dangerous, Winter begins to wonder: how far will someone go to keep the past buried?
