From the author of The Copper Crown, The Throne of Scone, and Strange Days: My Life With and Without Jim Morrison Turn On, Tune In, Drop Dead... Three Days of Peace, Music...and Murder. When Rennie Stride and her friends go off to this summer rock festival in rural upstate New York-a little weekend diversion called Woodstock-the last thing any of them expects to come across is a dead body. Or two. Though at this point, of course, it should be the first thing they expect: renowned journalist Rennie-also known as Murder Chick-seems to have a backstage pass to music-biz murder. And she isn't afraid to use it. But when she encounters rock death on Max Yasgur's dairy farm, in the middle of half a million people and the greatest rock musicians of the age, and when people she loves get caught up in it, including her own betrothed, superstar guitarist Turk Wayland, she finds herself right back on the front lines once again. Or still... Patricia Kennealy Morrison is a retired rock critic-one of the first female rock critics ever, a Founding Mother of the genre-and the former editor of Jazz & Pop magazine. An award-winning, two-time Clio-nominated ad copywriter, she is the author of The Keltiad science-fantasy series and the memoir "Strange Days: My Life With and Without Jim Morrison", whom she married in 1970. She attended St. Bonaventure University as a journalism major and graduated from Harpur College (now Binghamton University) with a B.A. in English literature. She has also studied at NYU, Parsons School of Design and Christ Church, University of Oxford. She lives in New York City. This is her fourteenth book and the fifth in the series The Rock & Roll Murders: The Rennie Stride Mysteries.

Turn On, Tune In, Drop Dead Reporter Rennie Stride and her superstar guitar-stud and part-time aristocrat fiance, Turk Wayland, have settled down in a historic brownstone in New York's East Village, following Turk's band Lionheart's epic tour closer--a shockingly spectacular four hour Madison Square Garden concert. Even more shocking: two dead people in a snow-filled cemetary, and they didn't end up there the way you'd think. More socking still: Lionheart's lead singer, Niles Clay, comes pounding on Rennie and Turk's door the day after the Garden concert, confessing that he may have been the one who killed them. Nothing new, for Murder Chick.... So Rennie's task, at Turk's desperate behest, is to prove Niles didn't do it. Though since the two loathe, detest, hate and despise each other, that may be more of a problem than any of them thinks.

Turn On, Tune In, Drop Dead... Summer, 1970 The Weezles, a fabulously successful (and totally manufactured) pop group, have invited two hundred rock & roll VIPs on a cruise to the Caribbean aboard a posh ocean liner. Star reporter Rennie Stride and her friends, of course, are among the guests, who are obligated to listen to the Weezles play them new music, in hopes of improving the band's teenybopper image. But murder has a different agenda; and before the ship reaches port in the Grand Palm Islands, it strikes, considerably dampening the spirits of those aboard. As usual, Rennie has recourse and resources that the rest do not: she jumps ship to go join her fiancé, superstar English guitarist Turk Wayland, on his family's neighboring private island, where he rules in his other identity as Richard Tarrant, twenty-first Marquess of Raxton, and where she can set herself to clear the Weezles' name. And where the danger not only follows her but is already there...
