Shaky personal relationships, tormenting memories of a troubled childhood, and the unrelenting pursuit of Jordan's brother soon leave her emotionally unstable and desperate for relief.

Grab your backstage pass for an insider's glimpse into the heart of fame and fortune. Music is murder...long live rock'n'roll.

Two years have passed since a series of tragedies upended the Grant family, prominent players in the tempest that is the music industry. Estranged brothers Ben and Chris still struggle to accept the loss of the youngest, and dearest, member of their family. The official report is as convenient as it is contrived. Questions linger that police cannot-or will not-answer. Miami news reporter Miles Macy's determination to unearth the truth has landed him a forced transfer to Chicago, but his personal investigation continues. His gut tells him there's more to the story, and it points him in a singular direction: Jameson Lockhardt. Meanwhile, famed record label Lockhardt Sound has seen better days. With little more than creative accounting and a grassroots strategy, Jameson Lockhardt fights to maintain his legacy, his secrets, and his freedom. When a request from a former LSI colleague leads to a true confession, a life-or-death race ensues. Only one man can expose Lockhardt's deadly past. And time is running out.

In the aftermath of the explosion, the music industry continues in its soul-crushing vortex of creating superstars and spinning lies into truth. The Grants, royals of rock'n'roll, make a decision that will strain Ben's family and lead a killer to their front door. Meanwhile, Chris wrestles his obsession over the only woman he ever loved. His solo career thrives as his fragile marriage suffers under the weight of jealousy and unspeakable betrayal. Record mogul Jameson Lockhardt has used every weapon in his arsenal to avoid the exposure of his past, including his failed marriage, his son's illness, and a trail of bodies. One man knows the truth about the biggest name-the biggest monster-in entertainment. And Jameson has left him nothing to lose. Frustrations intensify as reporter Miles Macy and his Metro Dade allies continue their off-the-books investigation into the Grant murders. A mysterious riddle from an anonymous source, previously concealed evidence, and a voice from the past converge to fill in missing pieces and bring closure to more than one grieving family. Loyalties shift. Bonds of love are tested. Life and death meet head-on in a cataclysmic finale that will shake the foundations of an entire industry.
