THAT IMMORTAL
JUKEBOX SENSATION

Ok, Richie Strafe would probably have enjoyed the money. And the celebrity with all its film premiers and chat show appearances; not to mention the girls, he would have definitely enjoyed the girls with their straightened hair and sun bed tans.

But what he really wanted, what he really yearned for was the immortality – the immortality that comes with having written a pop-song that people remember forever. The song that lonely teenagers who wear too much black sit in their bedrooms and listen to over and over again; the song that gets men in their thirties jumping up and down with their mates at weddings – that was what he really wanted.

But now, as he approached his mid-thirties, Richie Strafe knew that he was never going to achieve that sort of immortality. He didn’t even play in a band any more and hadn’t since his one time best friend and now rock legend Danny Cappaldi had kicked him out of The Sensationals when they were still in their teens.

Now, as Cappaldi enjoyed the sell out world tours, glossy Hello Magazine photo-spreads and sanctimonious African Charity Appeals, Richie Strafe worked nine to five in a job he tolerated and went home to a girlfriend who didn’t really like him.

There was one way though, there was one chance for him to leave an indelible mark on the world and settle the score that had bugged for fifteen years: he could kill Cappaldi.

As the idea ferments inside his mind Richie Strafe embarks upon a journey that starts in the innocent days of his youth in the 1980’s and leads him into a world of strange Greek Philosophers, Cockney psychopaths, Scouse lap-dancers and Teddy Boy hit men.

At the end of this journey will he do it, will he kill Danny Cappaldi?

The comic travails of Richie Strafe and his quest for immortality will appeal to anyone who has ever questioned their own place in history.
