Eighties rock star Bodhi had it all; fame, fortune and legions of adoring fans. But his world came crashing down when the legendary rocker killed two off duty fireman while in a drug and booze induced haze. For his crimes he is sent to prison for four years. While in prison, the bi-racial Bodhi becomes a target of Nazi skinheads. Not knowing who to turn to for help, Bodhi looks to his cellmate, Kareem for guidance. Kareem urges Bodhi to attend a Muslim prayer service. The devout Buddhist reluctantly agrees. In the weeks and months that follow, the once peace-loving Bodhi converts to a radical form of Islam. By the time he leaves prison, he has decided to devote his life to jihad. Within a year of his release, Bodhi dies in a plane crash. Or does he? Fast forward to present day New Haven, Connecticut.

As it turns out, the dead professor was a former music producer who worked with Bodhi during his meteoric rise. In the days that follow, Detective Tommy O?Leary, a longtime fan of the dead rock star, and his partner and love interest, Susan Kendall, frantically search in and around the Elm City for their killer who continues to elude them while leaving bodies in his wake. What the pair discovers along the way is a terrorist plot that could rock the world. Rock N? Roll Star and Crescent is a page turner that will keep the reader on the edge of their seat until the very the end.
