Bullets From A Dead Man

by J. Galobich J.

Over fifty years in the making, this book exposes a mystery set in the Swingin' Sixties. The author writes as a “fly on the wall” spectator with a hands-on feel of the era, who survived backstage high drama, internecine band squabbling and on-stage explosions, both musical and actual.

Reviews

[Deb · Rating 5 out of 5]

A gritty, atmospheric thriller that starts off with a ‘bang’. It has all the important elements of the genre including a protagonist with a unique voice. Ira Cohn is a middle-aged, long-time road manager for some of the biggest bands of several decades, and he takes us on a journey behind the scenes in the sixties.

Alive with history – a nostalgic road trip for those of us who remember the era, the bands, and record labels.

Only someone who has worked extensively inside the music industry could have pulled this off with such flair. I’m looking forward to the next book!
