The highly anticipated new novel from M. L. Rio, bestselling author of If We Were Villains and Graveyard Shift
The summer of 1989. Rock and roll band Gil and the Kills are about to depart for their biggest tour to date. Ten-year-old Suzanne jumps at the chance to join her father, lead guitarist of the band, on the road trip of a lifetime as they criss-cross the country, from dive bars to airplane hangars.
But as their star rises, so do the tensions within the band. Suzanne's presence in the entourage creates a dangerous power struggle that threatens to engulf the entire group. The music has never been better and the fans know it. The crowds roar louder, chanting the lyrics back to them - but the Kills know that any moment they could lose it all.
When their fierce rivalry explodes in a desperate act of bloody violence, Suzanne is the only witness to a murder. Now she must choose who to believe, her father included - and whose truth she is going to tell.
