THE MAN WHO LIVED BY NIGHT

Book ID/图书代码： 03880017B99108

English Summary/英文概要： From the first time they played on the Ed Sullivan Show, Us was the hottest band on earth. For more than a decade, the group tore through the charts and indulged in an endless cycle of drugs, women, and violence, until two musicians died—the drummer by drugs, the guitarist by a crazed gunman. Once the band was finished, lead singer Tristam Scarr retreated to the English countryside, hiding from the world until the day he hires an American to ghostwrite his memoirs.

Stewart Hoag arrives in London in the company of Lulu, his ever-hungry basset hound, to find the rock idol of his youth reduced to a wheezing, frail fortysomething. The first thing Starr tells him is that their drummer never overdosed—he was murdered. And as their interviews progress, Hoagy learns that working for a rock star is almost as dangerous as being one.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 从他们第一次在埃德•沙利文秀上做节目起，他们就成为了美国最为炙手可热的乐队组合。十多年来，组合在排行榜间游走，沉迷于无休止的毒品，女人和暴力事件中，直至两位音乐家的离世，乐队鼓手死于毒品，吉他手沦为一位疯狂的枪手。当乐队解散时，主唱崔斯塔姆•斯卡尔隐退到英国乡村，直到他聘请一位美国人来代笔他的回忆录。 史都华•霍吉在爱犬的陪伴下来到伦敦，为了找到他年轻时的偶像，他变成了一个气喘吁吁的中年男子。斯塔尔告诉他的第一件事是他们的鼓手从来没有服药过量，他是被谋杀的。随着他们的采访进行到下一步，霍吉体会到为摇滚明星工作几乎和成为一名摇滚明星一样危险。 (Sandy)

Awards/获奖情况：THE MAN WHO DIED LAUGHING (1988). The third in the series, THE MAN WHO WOULD BE F. SCOTT FITZGERALD, (1990) won the Edgar Award for Best Paperback Original.

"If I could get Stewart Hoag to ghostwrite my books they’d sell better, and I’d laugh myself silly. David Handler is a hoot, and his books are just the thing for what ails you. I find it hard to begrudge him his Edgar!"—Parnell Hall, author of You Have the Right to Remain Puzzled
