Written by the former singer and songwriter of Melbourne's rock band Little Heros, this book is an epic novel of the 1970s. Levin Hoffman is lead singer and songwriter in a rock band that has one big hit. In true rock-and-roll style, Levin and his friends embark on a hedonistic diet of drugs, sex and music but, as they soon discover, fame and fortune has its cost. In a world fuelled by excess, the accidental death of Shelley, Levin's only true love, sends him to the brink of despair and madness. Things go from bad to worse until eventually he finds himself in Bangkok where murder and betrayal force Levin to reassess his life. Finally, in the sanctuary of a Buddhist monastery, he embarks on a journey towards understanding and self-awareness.
