Book
Rockstar Johnny Mayhem sits holding a bloody baseball bat. On the floor, clutching a lavender rose in her fist, is his wife, Amanda, who he has just beaten to death. Erika Piper knows this because she is one of the first on the scene. Mayhem's arrested and led away, screaming that they've got the wrong man. But the evidence is irrefutable and when Mayhem is sentenced to life in prison, no one is surprised. Now, thanks to new evidence, Johnny Mayhem is a free man. During a TV interview, he issues a thinly veiled threat to those involved in the original case before seemingly disappearing off the face of the Earth. When the body of Mayhem's dealer is found, Erika Piper is pulled from the safety of her desk job and thrown into the hunt for the Rockstar. Can she find Mayhem before he enacts his revenge on everyone involved, including Erika? Or, has he been telling the truth all along? Did the police really get the wrong man?
