In the 1970s, Tommy Rissen—a shy, poetry-loving student—suddenly finds himself an up-and-coming front man for a rock group, Roc. But Roc’s meteoric rise is interrupted by the sudden disappearance of Tommy, the poet turned songwriter and singer. Love, drug abuse, and a daring offer from a United States marshal lead to murder and mayhem in a trail from Los Angeles to a sleepy coastal Mexican village. After helping US Marshal Tano Martinez in a sting operation to entrap a Mexican drug lord known as El Piranha, Tommy enters the U. S. government’s witness protection program. But Tommy’s newfound serenity is cut short by El Piranha’s gruesome quest for revenge—ending in a tense showdown between US marshals and the Mexican cartel. | Alone Together Nevermore by Thomas Stacey, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
