Description
When all the fast-paced excitement that has made each of her books a major international bestseller, Jackie Collins now turns from the husbands and wives of Beverley Hills to the glittering world of big-time music – the world of sex and drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, in which hopes and dreams are as important as drop-dead ambition, ruthless power and big money … Rock Star begins with an exclusive, expensive fund-raiser for Governor Jack Highland on the magnificent estate of ruthlessly powerful and universally feared record magnate Marcus Citroen and his icy wife, Nova, bringing together three of the biggest recording stars in the world. The legend – Kris Phoenix – a brash, sexy, English singer and legendary guitarist. The survivor – Bobby Mondella – a handsome, black, soul superstar, still recovering from a near-fatal accident. The newcomer – Rafealla – an exotically beautiful, half-white, half-black girl of wealthy parentage, who has every reason to sing the blues. The three of them attend the event reluctantly. Marcus Citroen has called in favours, and the time has come to pay. Rock Star tells the story of their rise to fame and glory. Their triumphs and their pains. Their long, hard struggle to the top. Their loves and their hates, feuds and fights, including mob involvement, blackmail and threats. Rock Star also tells the tale of how their lives interweave, until one fateful night in Malibu, on billionaire Marcus Citroen’s lush, ocean-top estate, where only the unexpected can happen – and does – they meet their destiny. For this night of fabulous power and wealth has also attracted the attention of Maxwell Sicily, son of mob boss, Carmine Sicily. And Maxwell, masquerading as a waiter, intends to pull off a major robbery. But Kris Phoenix, Bobby Mondella and Rafealla get in his way – leading to a wild, action-laced and shattering conclusion. Hardcover, 458 pages. First edition. In good preloved condition with the exception of a modest colour change to pages consistent with a book published in 1988.
